I am now lost in land of words
a trace of nail--syllable heard...
quartered time in rhyme absurd
I'm lost now in the land of word.

A wall is broken in my mind.
A brick is broken--hole divine...
a shallow ledge of freedom cries--
a broken brick of hole refined.

A spark of edge on cement wall--
one spark makes shadows stand too tall...
upon a ledge in fear of fall,
a cement wall leaves spark of edge.

Bricks - walls, what a  whole you have created
Kethry

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

What Contabo said...this is more than a poem!  Doggone girl, but you do inspire!

Lost? Perhaps...but if lost in that land of word, you indeed are mapping out a way for the rest of us...

Damn... you and those titles... a spark of edge... some of the concepts/language you come up with Karen, just amazes me...

this makes me think of someone so intent on explaining but lost in language, and buried in frustration... or... so lost to themselves and the outside world that words are like razor snowflakes, impossible to touch and carry; elusive and biting... or perhaps just a woman running circles in her own mind so long she is feeling faint and afraid of falling, without the word to cry that calls her heart to help...

Hmm. What a prisoner of mind can see... sometimes it allows for a beautifully spoken kind of madness... and you live that, honey. Hugs, K... you mold the chaos poetic...
