(excerpts from a book for they who hurt. i understand.   klm)      

...agonies again coiled my heart
like ivies twining the tree;
hurts furrowed anew my soul
like sharp plows in rain soft soil.      


...my memory was forced back
through tunnels to love's dark trail--
now o'er grown with budding briers
where weak, benumbed, molting birds
sat sleeping here,
dying there,
singing nowhere.      

At the lane's end my mind fell
into an abyss of tender thoughts,
where I heard again vipers' hisses--
those sounds unknown by the sagacious wit--
aphonic, eerie, mellifluent languages--
dins of daftness from a disturbed world.  
Here
the thousand nights in my soul
bid to be the lone one to shroud my body;
where a singular
drip
to my love's still tarn
swells jagged ripples
that kaleidoscope across my heart
ecstatic visions mingled with mania's frenzies--
colors,
touches,
shapes,
sounds
weaved from tender times--
recurrances of unbearable agonies--
turning,
twisting,
sagging,
forming a single pain so great
its tolerence but for a moment
pounds
my mere's dam
bulging with death.      


(excerts from SANE INSANITY)

Yes seems to be the only words I can think of in your images of something that blasts across your mind words that need to be read.
