Throw Me A Towel
Dark stars shine the way
Dark butterflies inside stomach
Shadows climb walls of pain
Cast by nothing on nothing
Assemble with skill and ease
That which will harm
That which will cast doubt
And fade
Mix ingredients of angst
Noises must be silenced
Dampened energies at rest
Unready unwilling to be spent
Hot to deny fates and free will
Winds blow through unused passages
Cobwebs and dust clouds
Handle with abandon
Dropped and broken
Gripping sides caved in
Staring into boiling pools
Reminded of mistakes coming back
Despair and rage
That which could have been
Digging up old fossils
Burying self in the remains
Ending everything
Set words on page
Set page down
Walk away
Reality a pie in the face
Looking ridiculous
Feeling alive
Days are made from times like this
One word: INCREDIBLE!
Wow! Thank you!
Your words are so visual….love it, again.
Thank you again!
OH, Wow… ‘Reminded of mistakes coming back, Despair and rage
That which could have been, Digging up old fossils,Burying self in the remains…’ Get out of my head Hotspur! This is fabulous. One of my favorite, one of the best things I’ve read all year! So so good. This gave me goose bumps it was so good, hit my soul, what a connection I have to these words.. I’ll stop now. (..It was very good:) ~ Jen
But did you like it?
I’m glad you connected with it… I feel physically bad, because I’m sick, and I wanted to write something dark to reflect that… but it’s temporary, and towards the end I was thinking everything would be okay. Sort of chiding myself for the darkness when I’m standing by the switch.
Yes! I loved it! It is very good.. and I connect with it on a very deep level. When I was fighting my addiction, these words were the story of my life. It’s what I connected it with, and now, on the other side, in my recovery & sobriety, I see things so clearly. The lines that I cut & paste in my first comment were the ‘wow’ factor for me. Loved it Hotspur!
I’m glad it resonated with you.
