to be held this way...



Uncertainty, while falling slowly
Take away this veil
The illusions since multiplied
Having altered life and love

When was the last time I was ME?

Return me not to the place
On the cusp of right and wrong
Between shadows and reality
Plagued by misconceptions of
Proper living

and yet seeds of hope interplay with burdens
of everyday?

Life, death, solace, black hole

Drama scripted, Director - yell, no
scream, “CUT”!

Recesses of brain matter
Active and alive
Where live unexpected descents to
A perfect model of HELL

NO EXITS HERE

Clarity? Insight?

ON THE PRECIPICE OF REASON?

Wicked theatrical scenarios
Play out in melodramas
That draws a hungry crowd

Utopia?
Nirvana?

Do they exist? Beyond this veil?

Ah, a cliché to be held this way
To be held this way…

If these things are just "morning coffee musings", Calli--well it sure would be fun--a meaningfully-rewarding experience to have morning coffee and muse with you.

Aw, come on you reader-peeps! I'm being serious here.

As I was trying to say, Calli, I respect you. and I admire your work. a lot--tremendously! The multi-talents of Calli, these are our gifts this day.
Thank You, God!

This delicate, wondering piece,
sounds like my Monday morning
musings, just much more poetic.

Each day becomes a veil, each incident, becomes another sash
to tie the veil, until one has
barely a voice and hearing is muffled.

The eyes just free enough to carry
out instructions, until the
blindfold can be properly adjusted
and one can be easily led by
a strong, but controlling hand.
And you wonder when it was you
became use to the hand, when
did the need grow, and are you
beginning to enjoy it?

Okay, sorry it's 5:00 in the morning and obviously I need some
pretty strong coffee, or perhaps
I should switch to tea! LoL!

For You, Dear Dear Calli, to be held ... in any fashion or imagining ... could never be a cliché. Unique and wondrous would be each occasion of embracing ... from however far ... even the wisp of your Essence.

But then, this is but the conviction of One who has accepted and endorsed an unbridled (and thoroughly delightful) infatuation with You. Thus ... you would want to consider The Source. [adoring smile]
