 [not me - just making up inspired by the foto] She loved him in silence an abstract kind of way like loving a painting gazing at a sunset. impersonal, unreal. But now she wondered why his absence made her feel a sense of empty space, nameless fears gripping her joy never to expect. They roamed wild in her mind a path with boundaries vague like phantom shapes so invincible against a sky bruised by darkness She waited out the last small hints of light fading into the fog, dark thoughts crawling like a spider taking charge of her dreams. Menacing and taunting like an ice storm warning her heart lay freezing cold no warm radiance softening the vengeance she nurtured. @jjote 03/26/2016 |

quote: So sorry, but I would have had no boundaries at all. This whole poem touched me, turned me on, "grabbed me" ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

glad it "grabbed" you, but boundaries that are vague would mean no boundaries at all, so we're in sync here. |

Loved this piece, my friend, and agree, more or less, with both you and Jerry on the boundaries, but enjoyed the more "poetical" and deeper way in which you phrased it. jimmy |
