#WedNightPoetry: "Tongue Piercing" by Darrell Herbert





"Tongue Piercing"

Flawed human beings
You are now who I am
burn bright
She burned brighter and was a true genius -therefore perhaps her brighter flame went out first
She was always volatile and vulnerable and sad
and there was no way he was the right type of man to heal her
so sad -for them both -a car crash looking for somewhere to happen
It should all be laid to rest with them

She's dead.
The silence demands the obvious conclusion

Neither party is here to confirm, deny, defend, reflect or shed light on the situation

The relationship between therapist and client must be private and protected
in death as it is in life
Otherwise how can people allow themselves to be entirely open
honest and vulnerable in therapy when they know the details could be disclosed after their death?

Surely that would render therapy far less

Blacktopian Shantelle "Elle" McLin releases a book of poetry titled Beyond Nursery Rhymes: Real Life Tales.  Blacktopia is proud to feature her new book release!

Synopsis
Between the covers of this book, you will find a pilgrimage. For the author, ‘Elle’ McLin, in describing her past as a painful one, would be trite and dismissive. It is through enormous turmoil that she found herself; slowly healing, then breaking free of victimhood. She later awakens to new found hope. A victim of sexual abuse; the reality of her writing conveys to the reader, that the true assault was the violation of her soul. The aftermath was a skewed self-perception, which created a pattern of self-deprecation and bitter angst. This is a glimpse into the heart of a woman who became terrified of love, yet desired to be loved; a dichotomy. So skillfully written, Elle has masterfully conveyed her deepest, blood-raw emotions in this exquisite collection of prose. It will be an emotional journey you take with her, feeling each inference, innuendo, and breath. It is a tale of inner strength, fortification and a woman reinvented. The author has discovered self-love; the key was never outside of herself. A victory for this very brave, strong woman. Walk this pilgrimage with ‘Elle'. You will find seeds enough to plant within yourself! Powerful and evocative - not to be missed. Brenda-Lee Ranta – Author of Myriad of Perceptions & Allegories
