Spurned and sore, I nail down my lid- cross my elbows tight, and just wait. Peace, en sacrosanct, eludes me- silent safeties tailgate in, waaay late.. Ill assumptions, travel on sound- to flood through my paperweight. Layered lies, do not slumber tonight; as I tuck my chin to knee-space. This is my hide, my always, inside- huddled close, as sadness erupts.. Were I able to, throw reflection on you's I'd open-eye stare, in mossy dare and play catechism to your hate. As those contemptuous whims do battle? I regally evade the debate. "...But a tyrant spell has bound me, And I cannot, cannot go... ~Emily Bronte 'The Night is Darkening Around Me' [This message has been edited by devina (05-19-2015 09:30 PM).] |

Sometimes we just have to assume the hug-your-knees position and try to stop all thought, and evolve into an another world where nothing can harm us, staying in that position as long as it takes. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

quote:love the word choice here, showing you are above their contemptuousness and will not lower yourself to it. One wonders, even if there were "reflective powers" to cast, what would eyes that are jaded to begin with possibly make of the images being cast back to them? (hugs) dear. Michael |
