When there’s no enthusiasm for the bed and sheets, pillows, love like a restless bird has flown right out the window. Too late to close the window; what’s meant to be has been but not too sure returns a one unto the forgotten. And then the forgotten returns slowly ever sure into the realms of absolute denial until denial like the thing it is brings the truth a-tumbling in through windows, doors and air vents, until it simply fades away through too much oxygen. Denial is allergic to the air of simple truth and pity so a one who keeps denial as a bed fellow in avoidance of a shift in consciousness to a higher mind. The higher mind can’t abide so very many lies made and promulgated as the order of a life but it knows to let it be until suffers one to see denial no means to happiness in the now and ever after!

And then the forgotten returns slowly ever sure into the realms of absolute denial until denial like the thing it is brings the truth a-tumbling in through windows, doors and air vents, until it simply fades away through too much oxygen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sometimes denial is all consuming and it's hard to get past that wall. Those lines above prove my point, it is like our life breath, when it shouldn't be. I don't know, I bottomed out a long time ago and I am not ever going back. Your poetry is so powerful of late, and I am always moved one way or another. |

Thank you, Bluesy Gal! There is something "going on" with me these days in so far as the writing is concerned. It's like I'm being pushed. It's a mystery to me but I'm allowing it so I take responsibility. Hugs Helen |

"Denial is allergic to the air of simple truth" Wow, so profound, reminds me of the phrase, "we look but we don't see", perhaps your words can improve our vision inside and out, Bloodline |

You seem so ready for that shift in consciousness, dear Helen! A profound and captivating reflection of your busy and inspired mind. Love, Margherita  |

Thank you, Bloodline. I think every poet hopes to improve vision although perhaps mostly it's to improve their own. If others can benefit, well, what a wonderful bonus. It is sometimes more comfortable to look and not see but I've come to understand that it's not meant for me. Still trying to figure out why though. Dear Margherita - I think I shifted a long time ago. Sometimes I'm happy about that and sometimes not. I just wanna be simple, you know.  Thank you for always reading and commenting. I greatly appreciate that.Helen |
