Screaming In Watercolor by *godsawait:icongodsawait:



My heart beats softer now,
the blood floating heavy through my veins.

The tempest screams, screams in watercolor,
and the golden curls of the pacifist bob gently,
in exaggerated movements but slower than normal.

All of it is muted.

My responses are similar, I’m sure,
but less pointed, less poignant,
and sometimes they don’t even leave my raw throat.

It’s the drug, I know, and I hate it and want more at the same time.

My eyelids are heavy
but the pounding has slowed and the edge is gone ….
drifted into watercolor screams, which could last all night,
floating softly around my mind.

This is an old Journal entry, but I decided it fit better into the Deviation category.

Thank you for the kind comment and for the fave. This is one of my first poems after a long break from myself, yet it still seems like a lifetime ago. I'm glad you like it.

NP! Its hard to find people on here that are talented at poetry other than just an outlet for some teenage angst or cliche. I was very impressed by your poems its been awhile since I faved another persons poem...
