Poem Artwork

You saw me here
Standing on the edge
Contemplating, jumping
Calling out to death

You saw me there
Falling through the air
Cerebrating, dying
Breathing, no one cared. . .

Can you see me here
Still, upon the earth?
Ceding, all my sinning
You, killing all I’m worth. . .

Can you see me there
Burning down in Hell?
While I’m content in Heaven
If you only knew,  I fell. . .

Wonderful Poem Kimmy, we indeed all fall & stand on the many variables to cliff's edge of contemplations...
I love the closing line:

"If you only knew, I fell. . ."


Much Love To You

A clever little diddy reminding us all not to "rush to judgment" for there's often much more than can be seen from a first impression.

I love your work, Kimmy. You are a true "original."

Good one to make me think a little... "Here nor There" strikes the learning mind.

Keep Your pen busy, and Your brush working.

In appreciation,

Are we swimming in the deeps of that philosophical mud sea where love and hate liquifies but where you can't possible float on it?
From the picture to the words and beyond, the words lose their meaning as the meaning takes over the words.
Well done Dutch girl!

We all fall at some point in our lives. It's in the looking back and your words that we learn to survive

Kimmy,
this is quite a voice I hear, rich and deep and making me pay full attention. Strong, worthwhile writing.

Major departure from your usual artistic styling, and very well penned, Kimmers :-)

Oh, this one grabs the heart and gives it a squeeze - powerfully penned sadness, Kimmy. You're in my thoughts and prayers - because I care.

Have missed you around here -

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :(
