The second peice to Under My Skin-V. Green

I feel more alive now
Than I have since I allowed
The pain
The sorrow
To overwhelm and conquer me
Cascading needles of strife driven memories
Ripped my soul apart until I couldn't even see
Pleasure
Satisfaction
Or the inner glow of happiness
Which remained hidden in the recesses of some unknown caress

Strength
A charactersitic I enjoy and admire
Every sword has to be forged and tested by fire
I lay back and prepare for the unknown future which holds mysteries
When I lay back, mouth closed, tasting the bitter sweet pill of my life
Prepare for those fangs which can pierce through your bone marrow like the knife
Through butter
My claws are still sharp
Sometimes I lick those panther lips and wait until this passion is sparked
Immediately exploding into flames
I told you once, nothing could ever tame
The panther which has long merged and ceased to exist
And yet in poetic solitude I still miss
The secret lair I once knew
But that time is gone
And those memories are through

So now I stare blankly into space
Not quite holding onto, but not quite willing to erase
A past unkown to most, but shared by a precious few
Embraces with words unspoken
Smiles that covered the tear stained pain of hearts broken
And yet, sometimes I think I love it here
One of the few places where I always eventually abolish my fear
And rise again like the phoenix
Dazzling all with the beauty
Of
Pure
Unadulterated
Love.
