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 allย 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. โค

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 ๐

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:

A great line here:
“A tempest

All the colors bring forth a reflective therapy on life and the self.
Incredible writing Nat. ๐
