deer-headphones asked: Your poetry is exquisite; thank you for sharing it with the tumblr world. Your style is truly uplifting and unique. Glad I found some beautiful poetry on this site, it's very hard to find these days! May ask what inspired your most recent one? "The truest lies ever told imprinted in your tender place" is one of the best lines I've seen in any poem.
Thanks for the positive comments. To be honest it’s the first time I’ve had the guts to post any of it, so it’s great to hear such encouraging feedback.
The latest piece concerns the nature of guilt and the way good intentions can cause one to act in curious and underhanded ways. The tender place refers to a sexual encounter, and the lies refer to what we tell each other in the privacy of our own beds; where our actions are unseen by the outside world. A place where the physical self tries to expiate any emotional crimes through physical touch, but eventually the futility of those actions renders the struggle useless. But feel free to interpret it however you wish, and thanks for taking the time to read it.
