Blue marks on your Body
letters and eyes Deep holes,
numbers curled,
Frowning
where the skin has sagged;
hanging loose Like old cloth So pale
Underneath
the make up
I touch your hands (Almost lifeless I have never seen them so still)
And they are so
Warm; Wreathed
Signs; Some familiar Some not
Like the cobalt hands of Hollywood aliens
How long has it been?
Twen…
ty…
two years.
Days and weeks and months -Lightning flashes
For all I can see is you- your hands Bright white
Almost
girlish;
I loved them
What have you become
letters and eyes Deep holes,

Warm; Wreathed

Haunting.
This is a poignant poem! There are many lines that help you get across the feeling, like the simile of the "colbalt hands of Hollywood aliens." I want to tell you not to be sad, but I have seen these kinds of changes in people...and it is sad.

Hi [featuring_nish],
Thanks for the comment. But I don't know who you are. Please leave a link to your blog or profile page or something... otherwise I can't answer your question :)
A wonderful piece. It has put many thoughts into my mind and given a little inspiration for my own work.
