Like a zombie
I move mechanically
eyes aflame falling
deeper into insanity

into a  memory faded
a flash reflected
my eyes blinded
from what is
real

and walls slam
like doors sabotaging
the main-spring of
my mind
my sanity

this useless head
held in fingers wide
spread with the struggle
of words left
unsaid



Angel of Darkness

and fill every corner and crevice of

================
that verse gave me a chill ...
the impact of its intention
emotional and powerful images and expressions here Maree ...
you always capture the reader with your style.
very well done...
take care angel dear

I looked into the sky for my anthem
The words and music came through
But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen
Looking into you

You know, I feel this way every time I sit at the computer for oh, say three or four hours. I've been between jobs and I know I'm insane!  Fortunately, I begin a new job Monday.  This poem I can relate to. Sometimes the words are in there, they are just exhausted. I think they fight among themselves while we sleep....

What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life.

DA,

My friend, it is so hard to find the right words at times.  Then all of a sudden, they are pouring out faster than you can write them down.  Go figure!  Well done.
