This thread has been quiet lately... Maybe if I share another poem of my own, I'll get to read more wonderful writing from my fellow Pixies' Poets? I hope? The power, openness, and rawness of feeling in the writing here never ceases to amaze me --- I've just been reading over the thread and I'm breathless all over again. Of course, the humourous poems are great too --- laughter is a marvellous thing.
electricity
the thick black
insulating plastic
surrounds
and
encases
the slender wire
of my life
only
when I plug myself
into friendship
into love
into you
only then
does the fiery current
run rampant
only then
I feel the shock and tingle
of emotion
I need you
the closed circuit
of your arms around me
the completeness
of being
we
instead of
I
