Beautifully Shaven

* I have been playing a lot with words for a while now. Below is one of what I came up with. Enjoy.


You were as thick as the green forest, unity does not describe the bond
The togetherness of the tiny pieces, numbering one to millions
'your glory' says the good book
Each one on its end as black as the tents of kedar

The afternoon was as bright as a fully lighted hall
My feet wrestled with their knees, 
Under the honesty of a two feet flourescent
The swivel stood out dancing on it hinges like some lever

And there was the shhh kind of silence
Zilch, zilch we got the sound, it was the death of you
"it looks like a weave" He said
You were as a rose trampled on by the shoe of a horse

My eyes found my face again~unfamiliar
The smile brought back my reality, it was a new day already
And I got a new name ready
'Beautifully shaven' is what I chose



P.S: No, have't forgotten. The blog give-away is coming up soon,

  2. "Zilch, zilch we got the sound, it was the death of you" lol. I maintain that poetry is a language; the tongue it is spoken or written in is one of its many dialects. Weldone is definitely appropriate

  9. Wow! You cut your hair? Well, I'm sorry I'm one of those people who believe ladies should always have long hair. I believe you'd still look good anyway. P'haps you could post a pic. *winks*. Beautifully Shaven is a nice poem. I like the flow and rhythm. Thumbs up!

  11. Hi Dayor, can't say I fully understand the poem(covers face), but I love the way you stringed the words together beautifully. Never quite got the hang of poems, lol, but when you read one that has been beautifully written, you just know. Well done-can't have been easy o.

    My first time on your blog, l am trying to ferret out writings by kindred spirits that speaks to me. Liking your blog. So long.
