Pre dawn Shadows still cling tightly To the tossings turned While I try again to drift into dream Escaping this nagging circlet of need To touch again beyond the skin of real And feel in shining quake of tremble The soul touch of another I could hide myself these times In the space between the shadows And the walls they cling to But even there I am blanketed in Clammy doubts First Light Too late now to sleep I rise with staggered stumble Of one that has lay too long trying not to move And finds movement now requires an effort and resolve To not bury myself in covers hoping their warmth Will in some way make the chill felt deeper go away My eyes would now close if I could let them Instead it is coffee, a shower, clothes and work Early Morn Fog lies on the fields as a mist of rain freckles windshields making it hard to see beyond The confines of myself So in pre dawn fashion I look inside to try the memories Of subtle quake awakenings that shook chords of me In resonance with something in another you Hoping the feeling sustains me a bit longer In this loneliness of knowing not but knowing still You spoke of opportunities last evening And stints of working elsewhere Your excitement wrapped carefully in what could Have been deception or could have been caution So I reminded you that you had no family to tend to And were free to pursue those things you wished While feeling a thought of your desire to not be But not willing to be not It’s cooler today One needs a jacket to fend off The shifting wind |

*sigh* ...I wish I couldn't relate to every word. Even so, your depiction would have struck me even if it weren't so close to home. Your scene is heart-breaking....hopefully it is just that, a scene, and not true to life. Hugs, ~Krista Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself. |

Ms Kitten: all to often the things we write we have had personal experience with. I am sorry you relate to this too well.. Sea... yeah something go beyond touching reality... perhaps the metphysical in me yearns at times to touch those things deeper that we know are there but that we can't quite bring to our world. Noah.. your replies are always appreciated my friend Deca; no matter what jacket it wears one sometimes has to search the edges of our vision to find it. DS.. Thank You sir... I am pleased you could find something in this to enjoy, and appreciate your read Martie my gentle friend... thank you for all Enchantres: Peeling layers can be dangerous if not revealing... thank you for the read my friend James: many thanks for the read and glad you enjoyed. |

Fog lies on the fields as a mist of rain freckles windshields making it hard to see beyond The confines of myself So in pre dawn fashion I look inside to try the memories Of subtle quake awakenings that shook chords of me In resonance with something in another you Hoping the feeling sustains me a bit longer In this loneliness of knowing not but knowing still ==================================== damn............ thats all for now....just damn....... *sigh* |
