A Sprout in The Writing Field

I'm a singer and an artist first before becoming a writer. So the Writers/Authors I've taken inspiration from could be counted on one hand:

@Uschibear

I've read her work from Wattpad and liked her poetic imagery, we conversed about her works and she ended guiding me to this website.

As for poets outside this site I baught a E-copy of Ocean Vuong'S Poetry Book: Night Sky With Exit Wounds out of impulse and somehow, each piece within unlocked the layers within me. I couldn't stop writing and became an open channel of birthing Poetry!

I'd like to share the piece that won me the Azure Awards.

"Anatomy of a Fool"

Dissect me with your sharp eyes,

please,

across my chest

to let the breeze

that caressed your hair

cool my spine.

Until then, oxygen is an old cripple

crawling in my lungs.

My heart: the beggar on the steps

of your mansion and it wouldn't mind the taste

of your feet.

Crush, I beg of you, crush!

my young bones, oil my joints,

and ignite it with your tongue of fire

or better yet, use the smallest spark as

I weld slow with you

irises

dilating from the dark.

Cut my wings

for your pillow to be plum-

at night, rest on my burning muscles

for warmth.

And when you leave,

Leave breadcrumbs in your direction

and I'll fight the birds circling

above me- for I starve for your

affection.
