thought process striped naked by clouds of past deeds try in hopelessness to recover within the peaks and foothills of dark lust and contented sin the secret writhes and squirms has a bottomless, midnight black heart with a cadence of terror all its own refusing daylight's endless illusion you lie amid sweaty, glistening horror lick your lips in utter panic bringing up images from so long ago like a long line of disenchantment and as you pray for the dawn to rescue you you wonder . . . what in the world was I thinking ©April 24, 2013 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. I can't put it down. ~*~ |

Ain't that the truth, J. I believe I probably would relive it again if I had the chance. ~*~ I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. I can't put it down. ~*~ |

Good one, Jerry. And then we come to know that we plain and simply weren't thinking at all.  |

Oh how true Jerry! I know for me when "I wasn't thinking" I was FEELING instead. Following my darned heart instead of my head. Seems like I'm addicted to love. lori |

Love's addiction can be wonderful and it can be fatal, Lori, hardly anything in between. Thanks for your input today. ~*~ I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. I can't put it down. ~*~ |

This is one of your most powerful poems, dear Jerry. You certainly described those nocturnal visions/visits of past deeds in a masterful way. When we are stupefied when remembering certain things, it's already some kind of redemption. Margherita |

Yep, being able to forget is a blessing at times, beaniebaby, but there are those things we can never forget. Thank you for being here. ~*~ PMS jokes aren't funny, period. ~*~ |
