Promise

Then once I became 

the page

I tore away my veil

stained my

sheets with madness

Forfeiting the right pill of prison 

the assurant white crescent  

death without life

Yes I am crucified to my thoughts

a prince ridiculous

but what the f**k did I say

you said full circle....now where did that damn thing begin??????????? I cannot.... not for the life of me remember the words or thoughts of the hours...but those whispers...they still smell of toast and peanut butter.

We started at MySpace and then they dropped the format on us and that was all the food we could afford and still keep the pens rolling … you we’re/are one of the best to smoke up the pages… go back over them. They did indeed! Hugs A.

so glad to see you're still writing my friend!! and that you're still fabulous.

[Perdition]

Should I respond now or wait? ;) Very kind of you and glad to know you are writing as well. I have taken my breaks as necessary and now with the light of these brief candles from tomorrow burning off, I am newly submitted to a fine if not mad, yes, quite mad indeed, schedule most unkind. Regulated to my Library of Literature and Sorts. Phantom of the a priori as regulated by my darknesses and basement phenomena with no food or sleep for months...but mad all the same, mad and thankful for this poetic wilderness and considerable indiscreet overtures obviously..lol. ;) Thanks!! And welcome back LouisianaBird.Please, don't worry, I've only gone mostly mad...lol.

[Perdition]

lol...What? you don't write in bed? Scribble with wine or coffee or have a pen explode on you from time to time? Where is your mind Ken" ..lol. Yeah, I think a well-placed F-bomb keeps both the truth and better crowd under control plus it just feels as necessary as it does feel wonderful as hell at times..lol. Thank you kindly as always!

[Ken e Bujold]

well: pen, nope, only allowed crayons. wine, is her thing, and believe you me, i am not about to spill my scotch, category 5 hurricane could blow roof off the house, and my scotch goes where it should. finally, reason I have stayed married as long as i have: no coffee in bedroom, let alone the bed LOL

[Perdition]

And most probably why I am still single..lol. Poetry has been my only chance for a lasting bride and well, She stains just about everything, especially my sleep!..lol. As for the Scotch and level 5 hurricane, a fine as righteous good call!

[Arundass TP]

Beautiful lines. Enjoyed reading

[Perdition]

Thanks for the review

[Light and ashes]

I love this, especially the first stanza. Good morning!!! I just had some coffee ☕. I was sitting here, getting frustrated with trying to light a cigarette, but I finally got it lit. 🚬

[Perdition]

Morning friend...I just swallowed a bucket of pills with vodka. Our ways are quite different come mornings, aren't they?.. I appreciate the kind words as always~

[Perdition]

Perseverance is that martyr come the cool draw of the nicotined...Ah, the first cigarette of the morning...been many years so remember to blow the smoke in my direction okay..lol Thanks again LAA~

[Light and ashes]

that's a bit much for me, unless it's just been major hell, honestly, I have never done that.

I'm not one for vices. I do smoke, but only every now and then, and it has been a rough week.

[Light and ashes]

Lol, sure. Why not???

Make sure to breathe deep, especially if it's been a while.

[Perdition]

...lol. Will do...as for your vices well: Where's your will to be weird as Morrison would plead..lol. Thanks again :p

[Light and ashes]

I don't need it. It's built into me.

[Light and ashes]

not vices, but weirdness.

Words written can change a life, a need, a thought, an ending. Often, intentions are misconstrued. or written in such a way they don' t complete their journey Sadness, bewilderment, doubt and more - make the writer, a poet perhaps to ask his question. Finely written, sir - as always.

[Perdition]

Well someone has to scream. Thank you for such kindness and do not so often make yourself the stranger dear Emma..Camus would take offense as well. We've saddled too many miles to not enjoy our sunsets. Much appreciate!

[emmajoygreen]

Me, scream, nevah, sir! Not been riding for quite a while; imagines with a breeze stroking my face and shoulders, would feel more alive than might.. Take care, Perdition.
