c.ravings of the soul

Left-over madness creeps
In like a thief, stealing memories that
Float like fairy-tales with no
Ever after...

I often wonder if days are better spent in
Solitude, wondering why I'm here, while...

Arbitrary tears keep me company.

Madness, I say! I sw.allow it like bitter syrups from
Yesterday's childhood illness,
Tempting fate, time and time again until I
Hear what I want you to say...

it never comes...

and I see... I was only born
to die.

A thirst never to be quenched...that is how this leaves me. And will death release that craving or will it haunt us forever? I always seem to sink into your words for they seem so familiar. Beyond astounding in my opinion...

this possesses so much spiritual undercurrent; awaiting a voice, a stilling voice. ..not necessarily one earthbound. . .. or amybe; maybe that voice is a very real one that is abandoning you. . . or indifferent; and the madness takes its toll. . .. left lauhging sweetly in the unreverberated ref.rain. ....and i love the images you used in this; how sickly sweet, medicinal madness can seem. ...youre on a roll. +nessa

the flow and arrangement of words, extremely incisive with a ardent elegance... it winds itself deep with a seemingly light hand but holds firm... well spoken and painfully affective

oh beautifully written for me it represents the ultimate struggle between the need of solitude and company by a fellow sufferer,,,

perhaps you were born to die... or perhaps you were born to write poetry.
