I cut
I slice
In a blur
I cry
Life
With this knife
Enters
Me
As I bleed
And relive
The Passion of the Christ
In a tiny, tiny glass
A tempest
In E minor
Colours
Which have never been
So real
Because smoke
Charcoal
Dusky Red
And pain
Is all I know
Wow. That’s gorgeous. Painfully gorgeous.

“A tempest in e minor”. Of course the first thing that *I* had read was ‘Temptress in E minor’, which would be a magnificent title for that beautiful photo. Your words transform the temptress to the poetess, that one can only admire the way beauty is extracted from pain with your prose. ❤

Temptress in E minor really is a good title, isn’t it?! Hmm…must ponder.
Thank you, Rob – an afternoon smile was extracted from your comment 😉

Em is such a sultry key. I think that you should write something! While written in Am, I think that dropping this song to Em would be just as enticing:

All the colors bring forth a reflective therapy on life and the self.
Incredible writing Nat. 🙂
