As I am reading, thoughts feeding,
Images springing in my mind,
Wildness in phobic breeding
With not soothing to find.
So I go walking, slow stalking,
Leaving pain in foot falls
As insanity fades its talking
And fear no longer calls.
Then constant turning, to returning
Steps that are mine alone
Eases not cranium burning
When I can not now atone.
As ink’s sprawling words crawling
Returns the entrapment
That can not escapable the calling
Of the commitment.

Lately I've been re-tracing steps in my own life, as though I could find a loophole that would re-write the present, yanno?

No one writes the gloom of introspection such as you...damned lonely place it is at times, too.

I can't say that I "enjoyed", but I like to think, that at the least, I understood.

thanks gloom

You write it perfectly.

Professor,
Thought provoking write. Each time I read it, I see more and understand less. Stirring, Sir.

tremendous and powerfully enriching

Steps that are mine alone
Eases not cranium burning
When I can not now atone.

yes, and all that is YOU, even the bad steps, makes for a perfect mix of someone very talented and perfect, in the inperfect moments.
