Living Hell
~~~


Hearts in memory drawn before us
haste display
their vesting style
Daydreams cast
and plead
restore us
dancing o'er a rusted smile
~
Chancing fancies may discover
heart-light
cast
where sins may dwell
Shadow darkened skies
recover
the isolation
sought to quell
~
Sifting through those haunting traces
ringing round
a fading light
Who might stop
and trade us faces
invest a smile
to warm the night
~
To the wise
that rise above us
bend an ear
to wishing well
See the dancers
push
and shove us
to the brink
of . . .
~~~

Well done indeed!! Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

Rex, you never stay around long enough...you come in, drop us a gift, and leave...do you ever, ever, come back to read the words left here that tell you, thanks for the gift?  I always enjoy reading yours aloud...this looks like free verse, and rhymes as rehearsed...

thank you!

Thanks for reading everyone ... I don't know why I posted this ... I wrote it over a year ago
I post at so many forums ... even a moderator at one
I guess I'm just spreading myself a little too far these days ... I no longer have the time to keep the pace
I think it's time I give this up, if only for sanity's sake
