The Day God Left Town
July 9th 2008 22:21
Beyond the bare-arsed brutality of childhood
when God leaves Christianity
in the hands of parents, and grandmothers
faint from their own hypocrisy
young girls burgeon
bursting the singlet, bursting the bra
bleeding on the inside
blossoming on the outside
Breaking their own seals, and
family ties
they go in search of love
via the highways, byways and corridors of
lust
with shameless uncertainty
rivers of unshed tears
Dry eyes are a thin film of moisture
glazing over pubescence
breaking into bloom
dewdrops trickle down the stem
Deflowered for the first time
(fumbles, open petals and flapping wings
but the buzz overpowers the bumbling
and honey is always sweet)
they get a taste for the swarm
yet survive the frenzy
and replant themselves in new fields
the virgin is reborn

I am poetically challenged myself but can appreciate it from time to time.

Glad you like it ...
It's a bit of a deviation from my normal style. It might be why it appeals to you ...

It never ceases to amaze me how women like the parts of my poetry I like least
Maybe I should write unedited more often
As to the originality, I was taught, "If you've seen it in print, don't use it."
And ditto. Nice to get a comment from you. I Haven't been Orbling much. Not sure if I will a lot. It depends upon too many things.

No probs.
I wrote it for a woman who told about a bit of her life. Maybe her life parallels yours a bit. I haven't show it to her for maybe the same reason. But I felt like writing it.
