This is about a series of different views in our emotions.

Pane 5: Some windows are better left covered.

This pane is hidden under a veil
For this pain is way too real
For it hurts in words
So bad that it grabs our insides out

This is where we put mists into our eyes
Because some memories will haunt us into death

It is were the ghosts we conjure up in nightmares
Come so real that we cover up
For they never go away but build strength

We can force them out of our mind
Bur peering through the veil
Will scare us into trembling idiots

Yes a poet’s window is not always clear
For this one is covered in cobwebs
Where the fangs of fear strike out at you
In coiled anticipation

In a drab magnetism some are drawn here
More than others
To thirst in the fear of exhilarations

For me I get an enough
On some carnival rides
And on Halloween haunted houses
For my veil is drawn tight

But still at times
The ghostly smell of damp musk
Will send my mind flying
Into spells of magical proportions

So this pane I use for an affect
But doing so
I walk backwards
And I look over my shoulder
Ready to get the hell out of there

At the slightest touch of goose bumps
Sending chills so deep in me
That I will not warm up for eternity

Yes this pane I dread
But look at me
And how I can use it
To write imagines

That they will come back at you
Later on today
Try not to think about it
And where you relax
The cobwebs of chills will get you
Into the goose bumps of your memory

Excellent...
*jenn goes off on a quest to find them all one by one*

I will make it a point to seek them all out and read. Sorry for not doing it sooner.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, DARLINGS....
If you can't find your cup of Christmas cheer, you may have a cup of mine!
