I dwell in storm

Gale whipped winds
Of misdeed, hinder
Swirl and surround

A prurient torrent
Of temptation pelts
My back and shoulders

I struggle against
The rising waters
Of lifetime wasted

And am limned luminous
By lightning strike
Of errant efforts

I am inundated

Nice stormy images there

If your afraid of the dark, then why did you come?

take small comfort that you can harness the energy of the storm
and use it

Nice to see your block coming to an end. I missed words like these from you.

Whatever do you MEAN wranxy? you *master* that storm...don't take no bull!!

and the new signature? just brought to mind the fact that my husband has never let me say "straight"...the direction is always forward...

clever you.

Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

"I struggle against
The rising waters
Of lifetime wasted"

NO YOU DON'T.

The lifetime you've struggled against, yes it was a struggle, my friend...

but not wasted, oh no... You had not a volume to share here in this small, quiet place...(yes Michael shares with me)

But the themes of your pangs make mute the thunderous sound of that "shot heard round the world"...

As long as able, share you!

Your never seen before humble friend...

"D"...straight you have empowered, and a party is due...I think I will invite wranx and eve to show you "finally there".

My favorite lines:

"A prurient torrent
Of temptation pelts
My back and shoulders"

I really like the storm metaphors.

Good as always wranx.
Gee maybe you should try to get published.
I'm sure many people in PIPTALK would love to see that!

WhileIwasGone, thanks and smooches back!

devina, twas just a moment. We all have these, yes? All is cool.

Chris, Just waxin' rueful, which is my wont. Sharin' it here, Boss.

m_m_b, Others have made mention of this. I can't fathom the reason, and besides, I would need a "body of work" which I do not possess.(I do things, as I do them, which means I am not disciplined enough, nor skilled enough)Thanks though, for your well wishes, they are appreciated.

~Ed

In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward".

ah my poetic wiser wranx. again you are the bearer of the touche' award, as this was awesome. as for your lack of pages for your upcoming work, a mutual friend of ours just had his first book published, and it only took him over ten years to get enough pages. it can and should come for you soon. let me know, and i'll buy 50 or so of 'em and give 'em as presents (minus my own personally autographed copy, of course!)

i'll always need a friend, one i can defend.
