I did not photoshop this

by Vikki Owens

i create the images with
my oscilloscope, soundwaves function
in my brain like brush-strokes,
i see the nerve rings in your eyes,
the defibrillator does not lie,
stop the heart, let the picture die.
the projector flashes the light of this life..
i miss you everyday, you feel like a hole in my side,
water and wine like a tide of regret,
these things feel more real than the blood that i let,
place a tap in my arm and harness it.

"i miss you everyday, you feel like a hole in my side, water and wine like a tide of regret, these things feel more real than the blood that i let, place a tap in my arm and harness it."--What a great line. This is fantastic.

This poem possesses so much beauty and elegance of longing. Who cannot relate to these words never dared to love.
