DANTE IN REVERSE

it's happening, i think so, i feel it,
the opening, the liberation, what i need
most these days and dark nights, liberation,
escape from the inner enslavement, the influx
of air, breath, the dialogue, oscar wilde said
all marriage is communication, de profundis, yes,
the private hells and cells we are locked away in,
i need out!  

so, yes, i am so relieved to have found this
new passageway. the minotaur was too much, honestly.
i'd wrestled with him too long.
now, out and up, from the cave, into the sunlight.
kudos to plato and his team of men who drag us
out from the shadows.

all such conceits, i know.
be patient with me.
i am fumbling for words.
lines, ideas.
i used to be much better at this.

Greetings, Dick! Welcome aboard the PiP Ship Lollipip" as I affectionately refer to this sea of blue pages!

I noted that you wrote this after midnight.

~ "the minotaur was too much, honestly.
i'd wrestled with him too long."

~ Yeppers! Those minotaurs can certainly be a handful!!!

Enjoyed reading your lat-night tumble of thoughts!!!  There were some VERY interesting lines!

Giving you a warm, welcoming pip hug,
Earth Angel
