Reflection’s Of The Soul By Paul Wilson Damn the wicked twins of grief and doubt Mind convulses (shaking) for reasons unknown Yesterday’s clouds leave their trail of crimson across my heart Words leave the deepest scars of all (never completely healed) The alter of repentance a vision in my dreams slightly out of focus unable to conceive Take me back I scream at tomorrows clouds before the wicked twins awaken again leaving me with nothing but grief and doubt Cover my eyes with dimes block out the world of visions from within Close the lid on my tomorrow’s i’ll leave you with my memory till we meet again ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Linda...We've got to have a talk about those words of praise you lay upon me. If only I was half as good as you think I am it would be great. Thanks so very much for all of your kind words. I will take them with the hope of living up to them someday...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Dear Paul, I have read more than once your profound, beautiful poem and I wanted to reply earlier, but somehow it was never the right moment. Now just let me tell you that I understand your grief and doubt, but I do hope you will find "Seelenfrieden" /peace of the soul. Your words touch the heart and make me want to reach out with a big hug. love Margherita  |

Margherita...Your tender caring reply touches me deeply. Thanks so much for caring. No need too worry, these words are just some of my crazy ramblings. In fact sometimes I think I am crazy because of what I write about and the way I sort of live those few minutes it takes to write a poem like it is me but not me going thru the pain and suffering. I might need to get professional help. It seems like I really don't know where alot of my poems come from, they just start out in my mind as one thought or line and I build on it from there. Funny thing is I can only write on the computer, my mind won't let me write by hand in a note book or tablet...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Paul If you are crazy then that makes two of us, what say we join hands and catch the bus for the cuckoos nest together? Having read your reply to Margherita, I swear it could have been written by me as I also go through what you do. No wonder Van Gogh cut off his ear ! As for professional help, stick around here and save yourself some cash !! ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ I have cut & pasted your foot note above because to me that sums you up perfectly, it is almost ( and please, don’t take this the wrong way ) akin to a cat laying his prize captured mouse before His master to seek approval. By that I mean I feel as if you are laying your heart (& soul) on the line thereby inviting comment & hoping it will be well received, Well my friend, let me tell you this.. you have no worries on that score and persistently do an excellent job...I doff my cap to you.... keep up the good work... John |

Paul, After I read your poem I glanced up above your photo to see that you say you are from "Between Fantasy and Reality". That just made me enjoy reading the poem again, that much more. It takes courage and strength to look inside one's self, truly, at the "Reflections Of The Soul". Great writing ! I'm keeping this!~K |

John...What time does that bus run??? Thanks again for your words of praise. I feel like I am making another good friend here at PIP, not just because of what you've written or your replies to my poems, but because I feel a connection to youfor some unknown reason. My foot note really sums me up pretty good.Thanks again...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Kahlil...Thanks so much for reading and your reply. Thanks for noticing that by my picture, after all aren't we all sometime caught between fantasy and reality? That's what sets us apart and keeps us going when things don't go right we can always depend on our fantasy's to give us some relief from a troubled world. That almost sounds like a good topic foa a poem. My biggest fantasy is too win the powerball lottery, help friends and family and people that don't have things most of us take for granted and the placees like St. Judes Hospital that do so much for the sick children in the world...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Paul Sorry Mate, the last bus left already, I shall dispatch my driver this very instant to collect you.... I am touched that you consider me in the way you describe, however, this is so weird but I get the self same feeling/vibe when connecting with you, want to go halfy halfy on the powerball?? Take care John |
