Silent screams strain to get past
A throat twisted by feeling too much
And knowing too little
Lungs refuse to expand
In the icy grip of despair
No matter
The ears are deaf to hear them
Gaping holes
Where a life used to be
Handled crudely
Without care
The jagged edges fold in on themselves
Burning at the touch
Acid oozes where light used to be
Shocking the senses
Into emotional overload
Scream God Damn It
Scream

Scream





Bad dream or bitter pill
each will crack under sharpened Quill

Dooda! Dooda!

Quietly curious
as leaping ability
is held in check in loving respect
so as to not intrude
on loosened rage
as decreed by her inner sage.

Knowing her needs
will be met
and I am at her disposal.

"i heard that" :heart: flowerforyou

The reservoir of bile is empty
Too many hours of throwing up
Now we are into the dry heaves
Emptiness which cannot come out

No more acid No more air
Throbbing temples
Straining in helpless truly futile
Rage and/or Despair

Throw yourself down, Exhausted
Beaten by the ultimate opponent

"The first principle is not to fool yourself, and you are the easiest one to fool." -Richard Feynman

Flicker
Soft glow
Cast
By a sea
Of tealights
Shadows
At once
Familiar
Beaconing
To the ivory chair
Wide enough
To curl sideways
Fetal
An old worn
Black and white
Shows a smile
That lights up
Her playful
Eyes

A familiar
Baseline
10,000 songs
Random
Yet only plays
The ones
She needs
To hear

Curious




(((:heart:))) Thank you friends. When we have a large serving of life there is only one thing to do ... chew! And when you can't chew fast enough ... vent it! blushing

Every artist knows there is no 3-D form without light and shadow ... but dang ... shadow sucks! ohwell

My love and gratitude to you in a difficult time ... thank you :heart:

She thinks her screams are silent
Yet I hear them from light years away
Those screams that I too have silently screamed time and time again
The ache and angst that I felt then coming back now so raw and real, her feelings of ache and angst
Embracing her, wrapping her tightly, whispering softly
"Breathe my artistic one, just breathe, silently screaming yet I hear you, what will be will be, you are not alone as you have told me countless times"
Step now into my light, share it with me as you have often shared yours with me
Without the shadows my sister of the light, we cannot exist, dance as you must but know my light is always yours when you need it
