The winds shift
and I catch the scent
of you
stalking
the tall grass
of subconsciousness

These days
I'm not as agile
as I used to be
a lame and weary
target for your
infected thoughts

I bolt and escape
though, never unscathed
You seldom fail
to tear a piece from me

I grow weary
of these hunts
and sometimes
I am inclined
to let these
thoughts
devour me

Seems like you're talking about memories that won't leave you alone no matter how far back you put them. Of course this could have a lot of other meanings. I love it because it makes me think of more than one side.

Enjoyed

heheheh @ Dixie up there

and NO silly - I didnt mean you are lame and weary - I meant that as an underground thing . . .

Your write - (you had me all distracted earlier) relays to me that you are strong and refuse to put up with that "feel" of the lameness and weary . . . even though most days it tires you so to fight . . .

Some thoughts of others seem to prey upon anothers ....
    such as INKED, actions create reactions.

Raph,

Like the poem and can relate...every so often there is one who would and can do this to me, but I know the motive behind it...and sometimes I do have to listen. Intent and wisdom, everything.

But this is now, and when this was then (far past) it hurt and not having an understanding of myself,  I took it personally...

Great poem! BTW:  She'll be back. A two-month expulsion..Have you e-mailed her? I have and I know she'd like to hear from all here....course she'll see this and the other one...

Hugs, Pat

..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..

Hey Raphy, for some reason, I missed the (RPfrom #23), but I went looking for it in Open 23 archive....goofy me ....not thinking that RP meant repost. Anyway, I finally figured out that it was in this forum, so I just read it. And, lookey here what I found.....

Honeybee you're much too kind, I really appreciate it. My writing hasn't been that strong lately, at least in my mind.
Ethel and Sue are sure to yell at me for saying that now.

.
.

Yep, I saw that Sue did there, but I'm a little late.
Now, you know that's a , now don't you? You know that I know you are a very good writer and have a way of getting your point across like no-one else I know.....just like here.
.
.
And, BTW, Sue and I aren't really yelling...just giving you some nudges and encouragement. Do you know why? Of course you do...it's because you are a very talented poet, dear friend!!!


Hugs to you, dear poet Raphael
Ethel

Thanks Dixie

Sue I sometimes feel hunted by thoughts and moods that I'd rather be free of. But there are times when I'm just to tired and let them take me..this however is on a grander scale.

Ctowen the write and the freedom slogan are completely seperate entities but I'm glad she is missed

Pat thank you for replying. In the end the choice is ours how we let the thoughts, words of others affect us. many negative and damaging words remain engrained and they're hard to escape.

Thanks you Seymour appreciate it

Ethel you're a sweetheart and I know you and Sue and others are supportive, sometimes though I really believe something stinks or that I'm not into my writing as I could be and it frustrates me so I attack myself

Abbracci Margherita thank you for reading as always and keep those wings clean lol

Thanks Sue, you know rereading this I found it open to a few new interpretations of my own how about that..
