"Inexplicably drawn by endless depths I left my invoiable refuge to discover your concealed place among paths least traveled..." -R.T. Darkness crept over frightened skies forcing the last burning embers of day beyond the borders the battle was over angry red streaks drained away as night claimed it's rightful place & stars peeked cautiously through the turmoil It was time You called with painted voice slowly unraveling the corners of sanity, destroying my last vestige of peace I should be afraid, instead I am compelled to acquiesce, bring me to you... Embarked on a torturous journey where neither limbs nor vehicle are needed the past thrashes about wildly with the present in a struggle for lucidity, where am I? You know... watching expressionlessly while I writhe at your feet in perfect agony how long must I endure? Finally, I arrive at the end where you say words that tear me apart Sadness permeates every avenue until a soul shattering wail circumferenced the world waking the mourners from their resting places... Seized by desperation, I beg for your arms, your love yet despite the mutual need, you hold fast your position why? your tears, like acid leave deeply etched tattoos across my skin black marks in curious pattern that claim me as your own tho you leave me rejected... The wailing continues into blue time, when the day~ now rested, plans a sneak attack against the night the time when I'll ask questions you curiously ignore hatred or love? why beckon? free me? Again, I'll awaken without you, drenched in sweat,gasping for air alone, in a place of your chosing Again, They'll come to lock me away scoffing at the meaning of the wailing & the call They'll plunge their opinions into my viens untill I am lost inside my mind while day-timers shun me... Please, don't forsake me, this time... Night retreated with venomous promises to return the sun merely smiled, whistling a merry tune Here I lie, in stark reality~ eyes wide shut... will you be there? -R.T. 4/01 [This message has been edited by Tiersdin (edited 04-13-2001).] |

Thanks for reading, Sunshine, I'd toyed with the idea of posting since early this morning, but finally decided to do so. *smiles* -Tier |

Tiersdin~ This is a deeply motivated piece of writing. While you burrowed some deep tunnels, you also exposed some ponderous thoughts. I would hope for you that you found a modicum of peace in the release of these feelings. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Beautifully familiar feelings. I loved your flowing method of expression. A great piece of writing.  "I hate quotes, they suck!" |

Bob,Marge, & Sven, thank you all for your kind comments. The poem more or less wrote itself and only has a vague reference to anything that has takn place in my life. The feelings behind it is quite real, I feel (as I'm sure you all do) what I write. *hugs to all* -Tier [This message has been edited by Tiersdin (edited 04-14-2001).] |
