LOVE The epitome of pain. The emotional drain. The withered strands of a life, Waiting on a wife. The curse to which I'm prone, A court jester on a throne. The kingdom of disarray, Disillusion and decay. The lies spoken in silence. The passion provoked to violence. The expression in your eyes, A tightened grip on severed ties. Forgotten images of a dream. A gaping rictus, a muted scream. A voice echoing in my head. The ambivalence of living dead. The darkness on my soul. The emptiness, its whole. The sheen of tears uncried- Upon dead eyes, opened wide. Forgone conclusions of wrath, A reiterating aftermath. The price paid to appease- A pining one could never please. The ever-pendulous emotions. The fragmented whimsical notions. The garnishment of a name, A brandishing of shame. The puzzle missing a piece, A chimera, a caprice. A word that only tips the tongue- From the song we never sung. |

You seem to take the very emotions from my own soul and place them in to words before my eyes. How do you do that? Such a moving piece you've created here. I do love it.  ------------------ ~onevoice~ "She looked at her life like lines, never-ending, constantly forming, reforming and bending." |

What Nan said is true, but I'm still there. That must mean something. Wonderful poem. |

As with deVine, I wonder why these words don't come to mind for me. Once again, another wonderful work of art! |

To my king of the "kingdom of disarray..." I know I've already commented on this one, but felt it worthy to go back to the top! I love how you choose words to pool them together, and create such journeys as this one - thank you again for sharing it.....I thought by the title that it was going to be "upbeat".....I'm sorry you've been scorned. ------------------ - poet FemmeFatale "The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone..."
