Cleansing Day oddly, today is the day I shall clean ~ my mental house ~ ~ my feeling heart ~ ~ my memory banks ~ in my mental house truth and realization beckon me to white dreams and to lay aside the black of being sorry and sorrows of what happenings weren't to happen, and what was not to be do not set aside just one day to atone for the sins of wants and needs and desires… you know the ones I mean… the ones you shouldn't take that don't belong to you instead go toward the bluish light of white, that which you can aspire to, in grace and ritual and aspiration of right… should a hand reach out to take mine…in comfort or in company…(whether it's giving or receiving) it is ok to accept it for the moment to remember to give it back to those who own it my feeling heart has lent itself to maligning times and propitious twinklings ~ breaking (hearts break) only as brakes were applied to moments of rejection and fallacies, over good gone bad and bad just going gone and I have gained in the losses and expedited rejection toward better moments, where my heart could mend then wend its way toward others in an effort to walk them through this hall of quaking (hearts quake) just so we could get to the other side… and I have traveled it alone many a time… so why does trepidation make my heart beat (hearts beat) faster even when I know I need not fear fear… now to dust away the cobs and webs from my memory banks… oh sometime so leaden with memories until a key unlatches just the right bank and gold spills forth in memories and sounds and smells and feels and that rush of life… so this is the most precious of the cleaning, that which to discard, which to keep and like old magnetic tapes that are bent and LP's that have a scratch, I examine each and every one that comes to the surface with this cleaning just to make sure there is no hope for resurrecting any of that particular memory… ah but those that make me feel so good… those I keep in soft folds of comfort and warmth I keep them in smells of Old Spice and Canoe, Tabu and Chanel… and baking bread on a Monday morning I keep them wrapped in rays of golden sunlight playing halos in a child's hair, I keep them in your wide open eyes, with butterflies laughter carrying them away to the safest memory bank I have… and for safekeeping, I polish the key with some spit and shine and place it safely in my heart till needed next, then write myself a note and place THAT in my mental house so that I might find it from time to time, (Reminder to KJ - clean house) so that whenever anything other than a cleaning is required, like a friend who needs me, then I might find and share these moments with you in a clean house. 01.08.01 |

I wonder why everyone is thinking of cleansing, Karilea. I haven't been reading only posted today and now I see other poems with similar titles...maybe not exactly the same meanings..but I enjoyed your...*s...mine was a spur of the moment washing of my thoughts...although, it probably won't succeed.. ![]() ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". |
