There is so much light
pouring through the blinds
but I hide in the dark,
curled up in the corner
afraid of letting go.
The blue-black blanket
wrapped around me doesn't keep me safe.
The memories seep through the starry net;
your face is too bright,
too clear,
too near.
Time is closing in on me,
the darkness blends into a pastel dawn,
the sunlight burns my last memory to ash.
The scarlet sun forever blood-red.

Hi Beeme, I really like this, something like memories slip through the starry net shouldn't work but does, beautifully. I think though the poem loses a bit of its bite set out like prose. Others may disagree and I'm no expert, particularly with formatting but,

even my go at it seems to work better. Sonora's recent poem close the circle worked in that format because it was a breathless and energetic piece of writing with little punctation if I remember it right, but some of your words eserve to be paused over and thought about.
Beeme, I will not be offended if you tell me to pissoff. ATB FB :-)

Hi FB, lol I'm defiantly not going to tell you to piss off, your advise is more than welcome. I'm really glad you enjoyed :]
I wasn't sure about the format when I posted but I thought it would be very hard to set out as I couldn't decide where one line started and the other ended. I really like how you have set it out and it does work better.
Thank you,
Beeme xx

Hi Beeme,
this is certainly an original piece, I like the
last line:- The scarlet sun forever blood-red.
It kind of sets the poem off.
Thanks for the read.
Jenny.
