Note - I promise I'll get to commenting on poems soon! I'm posting this with little time. ---------------------------------------------- Swinging, mid winter in the park, vacantly staring at the abyss before me, the cold wind sifts through my hair as if to own me. This day will not end... I tire of watching the sun's fruitless attempts at escaping the somehow calm grip of the clouds.. So silently I retreat in to my void and dim, souless body, my hollow shell... Before me, your ashes rise and I recall these memories like dreams that have persuaded me to stay... by your side the bones bend but never break.. the pain must not end... ...and through all of my begging my pleading, my lips merely become dry.. it is on this day that I realize words are merely noise and nothing more, I will not attempt to speak or clarify.. I will stare into my evernight shell, and be grateful for it even if it kills me. |

"I will stare into my evernight shell, and be grateful for it even if it kills me." I can only nod with understanding, meg. It's a very strange mental state to be in, so have my love and hugs too.  |

Oh yes....and that swing, it's most definitely worth a cold rump, to experience it! ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

I found that to be paradoxically very lovely actually. |

"So silently I retreat in to my void and dim, souless body, my hollow shell..." I've been known to do this..... More than a few times. Hugs, Ethel |

Feeling for and with you in the sad brushstrokes of your pain. I wish you strength, courage, and the eyes to draw comfort from a tiny vermilion wild flower growing on a mountainside and radiating sunshine. - Owl |

I just hate it when someone has the power to turn me into a shadow. My eyes sting reading this, the ache is so sharp. I feel the bones bending, yet hanging onto the pain. With no words to be heard, it all seems so futile. I have felt this more often than I care to remember. A dark write...well done! ~ Hugs, Karen |

i know that feeling of wanting to crawl into the shell, and glad that something is there to catch me |

A dark, moody thing, this. At least a bit of a glimmer of hope in the end, I hope? Corinne |
