`\_; *\_...Waking Dream..._/*; _/'

Rating: 4.6


Like a flip of a switch
and
shutdown
visions and voices fade
then
voices become disembodied
and vision surreals
allowed to just melt away
unimportant, disconnected
And as the world falls away
I contemplate my own sanity
with panic and calm
as I know
allowances to let go like this
erodes reason and will
with each instance
with each time I BECKON it...
I'm profoundly aware of its power
and promise
sweetly, alarmingly seducing me
deeper
I'm swallowed in,
with a dark and intense curiosity
I go deeper each time
each breath
riding the waves of pain
and pleasure...
What I come for,
and what makes it harder to ever leave...

And it is here
I am with you
and no one can stop me.

wow, this is insanely deep, ive red a quotation once forgot who it was from, there is a pleasure sure in being mad which none but madman knew, yeah there is, and no one can stop u from getting that pleasure huh, this is good writing, and so true, theres is that something deep inside you that once u reach it, ud rather not get out, coz compare to it, the outside is devoid of life, tasteless, numb, tranquilized, anestheticized, im gona add this to my favorite poems, thank you

Inveteratingly poignant work, young lady, as well as an excellent choice of subject matter.The Salvatore Dali-esque presentations you introduce create explosively inventive scenarios for your readers to muse on, and conclude upon for their own individual mind-pleasure. Quality versing...but of course...as what else could one have possibly expected, had they ever read you before today. Glad i caught you on my mini visit, this Saturaday afternoon.Be Well Lee! ~ ~ ~

The greatest things said are those said with passion and purpose... you have always been one to articulate with such a grace, I don't know of many that could compare... it's a rare gift that should be published with those few I hold that high.. Love you!

Lee, another wonderful write that really got me thinking of all the waking dreams that I have. Though some have been more like nightmares and not as pleasant reading as this. Top marks and thanks for sharing my friend. David

whatever struggles we have to endure in a relationship, We would still hold onto love because I believe that this is just the way of God to teach us to be strong and faithful. As meggie said it was so very deep.... God blesses you always!
