A monster rises |

A monster rises from the skin eyes ablaze, the fangs displayed, and spits the fire of vicious ire into the air I breathe. Down it travels hot, hot, hot, through the esophagus straight to that tender part some would call a heart. But ‘tis a place that spirit builds with walls of love unroofed and doors that open full unto a better place to be. Thus open it’s a landing strip for devils, monsters, him, and I’m surprised they still arrive when every day I try, try, try, to see them in a different light. And as the manic manners shout walls and doors quiver quake until a crumbled ruin that part some would call a heart. But foundations laid and sunken suffer not that vicious ire when buried deep and deeper than a monster’s artful reach and yet the wait for love’s rebuild like a forever internship in this excuse for life!

"And as the manic manners shout walls and doors quiver quake until a crumbled ruin that part some would call a heart." I really enjoyed this  So no more hiding all your pain, you deserve a new start. That's why i'm closing myself away, this is a message from your heart. |

Thank you all so much for your comments. If expression of a bad state of affairs comes out "beautiful" then I guess we live in amazing times. |

Hi, Helen. It's been awhile, huh? I have met that monster before -- pretty tough to get rid of sometimes, too, but eventually he fades away. Here's a hug, my friend. Good writing, though!  ....jo |

Hi, Jo - hope you're doing okay and, yes, monsters do eventually fade into extinction and for that we can only be grateful. |
