    Blemish



    "Blemish"

    I can barely see...
    Lines and wrinkles?
    Water spots; minor cracks in the window
    Inside, the soul’s swimming.
    Brimming a crestless crescendo
    Flapping the river’s current
    Suggestion? “go with the flow!”
    what if its murky and stagnant?
    Then you’ll learn how to float


    Over time,
    full house became a game of charade
    guess the shades of her face
    In a pool of perfection
    blemish unruly engaged;
    an inconspicuous snake
    I viewed a few extra seconds
    Moved in an inch worth of space
    Perhaps a few more until….
    Suddenly…
    Those blemishes fades

    Wait, what?
    How?

    Have u ever stare at ur index?
    Slowly pull it towards ur face
    Keep going...
    See how it blurs?
    Soon enough, a divide
    Over time, image demur...then goes its separate ways
    The closer it gets
    The more it would fade
    She snores,
    Her face, the contortion it makes
    When she's embarrassed
    Or the way she would snort to my japes
    Humoring my humor
    but she loved it the same
    Some say it’s “ugly”
    But intimacy doesnt care for it
    Blemishes fades
    The closer we got
    The more it became
    A portrait. A frame
    Flaws became art
    Picture perfect?
    Who knows
    Perhaps a Picasso parchment, as things seem to fall into place.
    Solace and grace
    “Distorted” to the naked eyes
    But I guess u can say love made it align
    love is blind
    Grasping at lines
    naturally, ironing out the wrinkle in time
    Love you, Ash.

    Sammy, I loved this. You've grown so much from a novice writer to a poetic scribe, and I can't be more happy for you. You're expressing your emotions, what you truly feel and painting for us now. It's amazing. Fuck yeah! I'm going to give you what you need tho, FORGET YOUR STRUCTURE AT THIS POINT, but not too much... let the rhymes flow. Speak to us like we're face to face with you and tell us the story, tell us the metaphor, speak the language. Be the language. This was an emotional piece that was super heart-felt and packed with meaning. This is unique, you're finding out who you are as a writer now and you can't sleep on that, push this part of you and challenge yourself on more complex things in your life. Relationships with your mother, your father, siblings, friends, everything. Expand on it. Don't let a simple rhyme go to waste either, elaborate on everything. I want to see more out of you, fucking get it. Or i'll bitch at you.
    I'm a depressed happy cunt. Don't fuck with me. I love you, but I'm crazy.[/I]

    Interesting writing style. Interesting rhyme scheme. Took me a second to catch on but that's just because I'm used to the traditional RB topical style of writing. As I told Messiah in his piece, I prefer storytelling. This felt more like it was metaphorically based. So didn't quite match my preference of writing but that doesn't mean it was bad. The wording was smooth from start to finish and once I caught onto the style your rhyme scheme became a lot cleaner and more fluent. I really liked that first stanza and the last couple lines. Keep writing Sammy.

    Hey Sammy! This was a creative take on your topic. At first I was thinking it was going to be about vanity and I still wouldve thought that was creative lol but this was nice. Kind of heartfelt representation that sometimes beauty is deeper than just the surface, I liked the blue reference and can kind of coincide with the meaning that the closer you get to someone their blemishes fade. Still not quite used to the short bars it seems like everyone is writing in these days, but the flow was cool, Great read sammy!
