I know of affirmations that I should recite, and even words I find absurd incite me in the night. My subconscious, reprimanding, living in the flesh, demanding, judge and jury notwithstanding-- voices clamour in my mind. Silences that should be kept Stifled tears that should be wept volcano grows beneath the rug where my memories were swept... voices mocking in my mind. Bridges leading anywhere Taxi cabs are at my door The roads curve long in sweet "come on" my soul in ache to taste of more-- voices wretched in my mind. |

a very compelling and powerful read; when I read this, the force behind it swept me quickly forward and left its mark; I love your poetry, Serenity! Your words are perfectly chosen to move the reader in more than one way, with speed and emotion. Great to read your poetry again. misC |

"My subconscious, reprimanding, living in the flesh, demanding, judge and jury notwithstanding--" You know the older Willy Wonka, when they take the boat down the river, the way I heard that line in my head sounded like how he talks at that part, if that makes any sense. Anyhow, another great write lady. |

A 'write' that leaves one with so MUCH to think very carefully about! especially excellent: "voices clamour in my mind. Silences that should be kept Stifled tears that should be wept volcano grows beneath the rug where my memories were swept..." |

"voices clamour in my mind." Oh god, in mine too! Today they insist I stay home and clean the guns. *smile* It is a lonely mind wherein no voice speaks. Thanks Babe, for getting me to read this morning! |

Serenity...First let me say I really like the new photo. This touches my heart deeply and opens old wounds but it serves as sort of a reminder because I have become numb to those old memories but deep in my mind there will always be a special place in my heart for her...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

If you ever get tired of Mr. Wonka, you can send him on up to Ohio. I'd love to pick his brain. Also, love the picture, lady. |
