The corner of my eye does lie
for there I see a hidden beast,
in shadows where one's fancy flies
they are the most, one is the least.

We dwell within the lighted world
and give our dreams up to the night,
they dwell within those very dreams
and cover the full range of sight.

Look deep into the well my friend
for there within its depths does lie
the answer one cannot pretend
to serve as any alibi.

A soul must cleanse itself at times
if only through some simple rhymes.

Dear Dr. Mooose,

I can't tell you how delighted I am to be the first to respond to this poem. It's a pleasure to read and think about.

Thank you,
Alison

As truth we cannot see but this:
the puzzles of the darting eye,
Just as Judas placed his lips
upon the face of Christ, as spy...

The temple's possibilities,
are sacred only unto self:
The beast is cautionary plea
we recognize ourselves as Hell.

Knowing thirty coins were tossed
(I doubt it even bought the rope)
much less rectified the cost
for losses of the Judast hope.

A soul must cleanse itself all times.
A daily death as such? "Sublime..."

No kiss tonight. For reasons obvious.

But a hug will do, yes?

(say yes)

I'll blow kisses...*chuckle*

and I apologize for the interruption--

you inspire me.

Very captivating. In my opinion the soul is always clean, the only "unclean elements" reside in the mind.

But your reasoning works perfectly well in that case too ...

Love,

Oh boy, I can so identify with that verse. I thoroughly enjoyed your brutal honesty.
There does come a time when we simply must slay our dragons.
(as much as I dislike the idea)

Neat poem Doc, and lots of good thoughts to ponder.
