Falling abysmal past hands unclenched destitute and calloused reaching, clawing at me at my soul within. Entombed below locked in hideous grasp they rape and they carve till their hearts content moldy carcass abhorrent. By Michael J Fessel [after 45 hours without sleep] |

Very powerful! I do hope that you are sleeping with the Angels ... make sure to visualize a beautiful image before drifting into sleep, otherwise your visions of abyss will haunt you through sleep too. Remember to go sit in the sun for a while! Love, Margherita |

Thank you Sunshine. I'm so pathetic. I sit around without sleep and write poems about my misery, and then I post it telling everyone. Thanks for your kind words. Mike |

Margherita: Why are you so kind? Somehow you made me laugh with this, I didn't think I had any more left. Thank you. Mike  [I guess I had one more of these left, so I give it to you] |

You ask "Why are you so kind?" .... I just listen to my heart. Could it be, because I know what you are going through? Your words remind me of a poem I have written some time ago .... (see how it begins!) I’M TIRED! I’m tired of being kind, of being harsh, of being tactful, of being forthright, I just want to be in my own mood ….. I’m tired! I’m tired of all the dirt in the world and of obsessive neatness, I just want nature to be treasured … I’m tired! I’m tired of being rebellious. of being obedient, of being judged and of judging others. I just want to be wise ….. I’m tired! I’m tired of being punctual, of being late, of worrying for others, of being careless, I just want to be myself …. Oh, I’m so tired! I’m tired of being sad, of being thrilled, and I’m tired of my dreams and of reality. I just wish to be …….. I’m so tired, yes! I’m tired of smiling, of crying, of having faith of believing nothing. I just want to be in peace ….. I’m tired no doubt! I’m tired of temptation, tired of salvation, I’m tired of good advice and of being ignored. I just want to be loved ……… I’m tired! I’m tired of lying and of being truthful, of forgiving and of being forgiven. I just want to be quiet ….. I’m tired! I’m tired of being creative, and of having no ideas. I am tired of illness and of death. And oh, I’m tired of life. I just want to drift over! Tired of being! But …… I’m also tired of being tired! Tomorrow morning I’ll go up on the top of my house and ……………. I'll watch the sunrise at dawn, and I’ll try to breathe the world’s breath and I’ll try to harmonise my life with the rhythm of a new day! Yes, I will! .... and I did come out of the tunnel. And you will too. Meanwhile go on writing .... you do it very well. Love, Margherita  |

Oh Margherita, I wish to thank you from the depths of my soul. You are wonderful, trying so hard to help me, thank you. And you're poem was soooo good! Oh I am so tired all the time too. You hit it right on the button by showing me this, I feel all of this all of the time. And last night that roof would have looked really appealing, though not for watching the lovely dawn. [The ending was so beautiful especually, by the way ]But now, my Angel has returned and I am tired no more! I feel so good, I wish I could take a piece of my happiness, and give it to you, for all of your aid!Thank you!!! Hugs Love Mike |
