Open Palms (Kissing You Goodbye) Poem by Aria Siren
Open Palms (Kissing You Goodbye)
I've been here so long
That I've forgotten
Where I am
Trapped
Suffocating
Straight-jacketed
Clasped
So tightly
In your hands
Don't get me wrong
These prison walls
Are more lovely than most
And I wouldn't mind
Being held
If it wasn't for the host
You keep me here
With no hope of
Being set free
And if I'll ever
Climb from your
Hands to your heart
There is no guarantee
That you'll even let me stay
And now I've caught a draft
And I'm not sure if with you
I want to play
So I believe its
Time for you
To let me have reprieve
And I'll softly kiss goodbye
Your open palms
Before I take
My leave
This is one of your best! I like the style...how so few words express much thought...at times you used only one well selected word...also the rhyme pattern...Don't get me wrong These prison walls Are more lovely than most And I wouldn't mind Being held If it wasn't for the host...And if I'll ever Climb from your Hands to your heart There is no guarantee That you'll even let me stay

You've out done yourself Aria. This is truly a master piece. I especially liked the beginning with those descriptive words. Trapped, Suffocating, Straight-jacketed, Clasped. I love that kind of emphasis! Amazing Write!
