Corners
Shadows
Always lie in wait
The trap doors
Always seem to glisten
And pulsate from beneath their shrouds.
The shrouds I carelessly tossed on the floor,
While nude and free my thoughts were without boundaries again.
Living, loving, then..
Unfocused
I must have stumbled and fell
And now
I just want to fall
And hitting bottom isn't such an unwelcome thing
Because after the fall
And the impact
There isn't much for story content
Except the revisiting of the darkness
And the pain
The tears
And dried lifegiving liquid

We're sorry..this heart has been d-i-s-c-o-n-n-e-c-t-e-d. Should you like to hold the line we'll be glad to reconnect you..

Sigh - I guess I'm not the only one who would rather find the bottom than dare to hope sometimes.  Sorry to see you feeling this way, but you capture the emotion well.

Doreen,
Thank you, Sweet Lady. You don't know how much your opinion means to me. I'm glad you enjoyed this.

Micheal,
It certainly is nice to see you. When in down, comfort is here on these forums for me; although it pales in comparison to what I really want. Thank you, though, for your thoughts.

Sven...
While I'm just beginning to place my foot on the sand on the bottom..no, sir. I think I'll stay a while longer here, for the Darkness..it embraces faithfully every night and during the day if I summon it then. Thank you for reading, Sweet Sven Pen.  

Kathleen....
Excellent to have you reading, Lady. I am glad that you enjoyed it and found power within.

These words glisten
as dew on a lover's lips.
