The Shadow World


~~*~~  




It is the world    
    beneath my skin
       where my heart beats
          in less than perfect rhythm

where my life is always waiting
     and waiting and waiting
        for that addiction
          that can carry me
            for miles

and time
  can build up
    resentment or anticipation
      and the word bending just
         goes on and on
           and on

and unlike braille
   the feel is more intense
     and not just surface driven
        but deeply scars when
           at days end the need
              is still there

to share those words with you
   to know the feel of your day
     to count the minutes and
       even seconds that the heart
         will retrieve its beat
            and the meeting
               becomes me

                 ~~*~~
                   M

Must be a braille kind of day...
tactile sense can be everything...
or nothing, if the one we wish to touch
is not there.

Enjoyed your writing, missy...it touches
in more ways than one.

Lonliness and longing drape your words and move the readers heart to compassion - well penned.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Yes, well penned indeed, Maureen.  Many, no doubt, can relate.
