* NB this was inspired by PDV state of confusion listed in place of residence. I do not want anyone to think, I consider PDV to be even vaguely mad. It was just such a deliciously tempting place to be.


I want to dwell with Poet De Vine
in her state of confusion
a dweller on the threshold of insanity
that has no reality solution

I want to believe my mind has gone
to a place that's better for me
a place of delusion, illusion and dream
on the threshold of insanity

I want to escape the fight of the real
that pursues my mind full well
knowing the cusp, I trepidly tread
the  barren place wherein I dwell

I want to accept a shallow mind
where things get lost therein
insanity looms without a price
and craziness something to win

I want to be in a place of repute
where others care for me
the state of confusion, like Poet De Vine
the threshold of insanity

  Excellent writing, Kethry!  I think this must be a very large state, as so many of us dwell there.  I especially like the phrase "trepidly tread".  I had to go back and read it several times, not because it was unclear, but because it is so original, and trips off the tongue so marvelously!  Thanks for the smiles.
