Give Me Rest So quiet in the house Except for the creak Of the ceiling fan whirling above me Alone with my thoughts And falling once again Into that dark abyss An infinity of nothing Oblivion is my need I welcome the shroud That is falling over me Blocking out my fears And dulling my senses Burying my memories And giving me peace I don't want to feel Or remember anything I only want to fall Into the nothingness Never to feel again © 10/99 Gary Pence Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. -Edgar Allen Poe |

I feel the same way. Not wanting to feel anything. It's a lot less painless that way. |

this is sad and emotional J...i wish i didnt relate so well, seems to be so much poetry of this today... its good for us to have our writing to help us both deal and heal. take care jm Now for me some words come easy But I know that they don't mean that much Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch You never knew what I loved in you I don't know what you loved in me Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be jackson browne |

Well written I feel. Emotion is strong and conveys well that feeling of wanting to escape from reality. Hope it is not a personal feeling you have. Good writing. |

When I feel those feelings, and fall into that dream state, when the whole world is blocked, and all I do is sit there lifeless, I pic my pen up and write. Glad you wrote that, and glad that i'm not the only one who does that. I'll be anxiously waiting for more poetry. Much love, One love, PEACE |

Jonas I liked the use of the ceiling fan in your poem...it sets the mood for me...I have ceiling fans in every room. I too just want rest from it all some time. James |

Jonas this was great, I feel this way at times, we all do. My advice? Retreat to your corner, gain back your strength, and come out fighting!! May the world hug you today, With it's warmth and love. I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart, That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world, Wishing you well and wishing you love...... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |
