a not so far away world awakenings were mean…wickedly rude pushing me here & there like a plot full of twists & turns gripping …clawing, never letting go with a scowl painted across the face of enchanting transformations engrossing my whole being down to my toes performing rivalry punching my stomach like a medium from one of those ancestral tales of the 1600’s there were no spell checkers waiting to pounce just hot & sweaty lyrics from some distant storyteller’s spectrum fighting with ideas analyzing something interactive with another time, another place creeping into my dreams & on my days’ off dangling a new motto right in front of my nose no matter how hard I swatted it away a daily installment delivered to my front door anthologies on-going in endless arenas of space human characteristics putting goals where they shouldn’t be Oh, how I stumbled over my own name like an epic journey of the heart complexities of resurrections… delicious dark questions emotionally wrenching making sure the world that you’ve created with speculative premise to the perfect day feels believable and exciting special elements creating balance is drinking destiny’s majik where the mind conjures worlds yours mine and others mingle immersed in heroic surroundings where time travelers say the words aloud accessing Egyptian knowledge elemental overloads of nature’s goals with no gender native American mythology sparking lights nasty paranormals charm inspirational chills lurking extraordinary in its eccentricities and will i am right where liquid silver books suggest i be… on the path of my own damning questions and I’m everything but willing to take this journey into the dark and powerful slow change of flashbacks life-changing acquaintances lore of promise paying no attention to tarot cards or stand alone loss coming into gifts of courting darkness lest I fathom death the sensual bond between determination and reason |

it totally amazes me how you can think and write like this, with such depth and perception, so early in the morning so many thoughts and wonderful lines |

no matter how hard I swatted it away a daily installment delivered to my front door you make me smile when I can relate to so many passages you write... only I won't tell you what I swat away   M |

"performing rivalry punching my stomach like a medium from one of those ancestral tales of the 1600’s" No matter how much time passes some things are not touched by time. Great write Lee J... JL  Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: |

LeeJ...Really enjoyed. Read like a journey thru your mind, searching for more but unsure if you really want to travel the dark road that lies ahead or stay on the road you know.Thanks for sharing...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

So how far down the rabbit hole do you want to go today? :-) See you at the bottom. Last one there's a rotten egg. Loved it! A poem's just a poet in a word. |

::smiles:: Wow! Such a fantastic write! I remember when I used to think I was a "poet". That was before coming here and reading the works of ones such as you. Awesome! This made me think of the old song... Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Condition Was In. LOL " I pushed my soul into a deep dark hole and then I followed it in. I watched myself crawling out as I was crawling in." ::smiles:: I like the reply of Nedj... Interesting thing about the rabbit hole... You learn that there will never be a hard landing at the bottom...because you are there to break the fall and can only land in your own lap. LOL Oh ! Such Fun ! |

Lee, glad you got a laugh. Hope you didn't have too big an audience. :-) Uriah, you must be a poet at heart, else how would you come up with a line about "landing in your own lap." Loved it. A poem's just a poet in a word. |
