There’s a room in a village not far from a town where the walls are painted a dark deadly brown and a lady is there confined in despair with ropes and ties of invisible air. The window is draped with a dreamscape from which there appears to be no escape and the night too cold renders her prone on a bed of internal shivers and moans. She reads the lines of many good lies for the truth in its way of avoiding the mind has slipped underneath skin’s fleshy shield to frolic and play in soul’s energy field. Night throws on the ground a challenge, a dare, to sleep in belief of no single nightmare awaking the ghost of hopes, wishes, needs, now mummified in the essence of feel. Dare she does; she’s a crossover/pushover or dearly possessed of a massive hangover but she sleeps somehow and claims recompense for mixing and matching past/future tense … because there’s no room, no wall painted brown, and no little village not far from a town!

You wrote delicately of the way human's have of creating our own prisons and despair. There was a breeze that moved through your words, rich in the scent of changing hearts and minds. Well done. TD |

Thank you all for reading. Uriah - Isn't that just the beauty of poetry? T.D. - Thank you for knowing what I'm trying to say. Dixie - to everything there is a story and none of us ever stand alone in whatever situation we find ourselves. Most times someone has gone before or is following close behind. Martie - superwoman? No, I think such a being would be possessed of dry eyes and that for sure isn't me but thank you for thinking it. |
