double takes and distorted shapes
I hear the phantom pitter-patter
of disembodied clang and clatter

sounds ring crystal clear
when no one’s here
and empty rooms
sing desolate tunes
of yesterdays
under gloomy haze

now all these things that don’t live here
their constant static interferes
drowns out everything else around me
I keep going blind ‘til I can’t see

fading senses
and cold defenses
just giving away
what doesn’t fray
months spent blanked out
under blankets

sit and wait, now
trust in fate now
choke on your questions
growing obsessions
powerless over
your life’s foreclosure [comments] => 3 [counter] => 84 [topic] => 65 [informant] => MoonlitAngel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => toughstuff )

I find in your words the prevailing
wind of high anxiety,
while most of us wish only to be
free, or possibly small,
like a sea otter swimming with
this embedded animal smile on his/her face, and
your sitting in the ferry traveling
home from the island to the mainland, and you spot a great white not too far from that otter, as the sunlight
glints of the sea, and you are thinking
thinking, holy cow,
there is so much out there, while
you hold onto your little grandchild,
a precious little baby
And you know this world
means everything, all that you
have

Peace!

interesting flow
its like you are in suspended animation
waiting for something to pass
as you fight depression
well done

Nice

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
