Since things have changed, and everyone thinks they are an editor, I have no idea how long this will stay posted........just another fractured and eclectic part of me to share. Only cuz I know I'm not the only one. We are allowed to feel and if the feelings posted are not glowing and bright and all about love, and people want to stick thier heads in the sand just cuz they don't want to face the darker parts of life then be my guest and delete this...............These things are a normal part of the sadness I believe all people may experience in thier lives at one point or another. Experience this with an open mind and try to appreciate the fact that we can and do express these as well as all the glory.



How dark can my mind go?
Where are the ashes?
Still hot and seething
Or cooling tendrils of smoke
Left to cool
Inside my mind?

Touching the darkness
Feeling nothing
But it feels me
And leaves me there
Alone

Falling down
Or is it up?
Drowning in the sadness
Or self-pity
Of my mind

Where will I be?
Who the hell knows?
Demons follow
Like starving dogs
Licking my heels

Tasting my anger and pain
Hanging on every tear
Alas they shall starve
Tears come to me
No more

They dry up as made
No trails of salty sadness
For them to know
I look not back
They interest me not

Where am I?
Do I care anymore?
Swinging on a swing
Or hanging from a tree
Makes no difference to me

thats a nice poem, i just got out of a 2 1/2 year relationship to the girl i thought was my soul mate. and ur poem really gives me encouragement and confidence.
thank you.

just saying hi

I'm glad you took it in a positive light and welcome to JSH.....things are much more fun in here that it may apprear on this post LOL....

We all suffer in one way or another. Being able to share it, be it sad or longingly or happy or distant, if it makes a difference in anyway that can either console us or at least make us feel like we are not alone, then it is good....

Again,

Welcome to JSH......keep posting! It helps people get to know you and there are some really great people here. This site is like none other you will find.

A touch of reply for you, can be viewed on either side light or dark. Read with punctuation, there are no errors. Amazing how simple words such as adjectives and verbs can lead a mind. The simple letters, arranged, can move a mind. For this I write:
Glance. Flirt. Excitement. Lust. Move. Dark. Deep. Touch. Soft. Anticipation. Friction. Flex. Arched. Clench. Tense. . Fall. Exhaustion. Relax.

Without all the extras the goal is accomplished. Or is it?
Ha my two cents.

Thanks MIKE....you are a dear..... ......and the pic? HEE HEE HEE, let see how long it lasts before someone complains, hahahaha.....or they take it away from me. My luck I'll get banned hahahahaha, right when I just got back

Welcome Worx........to JSH. Your two cents is appreciated and hopefully considered by those who read it.

Thanks creation, well said on your part as well.

I took it as very deep and sad.Actually made me get teary eyed.Alot of us have suffered in one way or another.My hope for you is you can overcome the pain.And move on th this beautiful life.

Thank you pkh. Actually, in a way I am moving on. By letting go of my fear, I am moving forward. Actually, today is my first day back to college in over three years. So, I move forward in other ways as well........highs and lows, ya know?

Good for you,keep moving forward.

Bravo, I love it. Glad to see you in prime spirits, I miss your side of the tracks they are truly one of a kind.

Very true. And very good indeed.
I feel this. Tonight.

So....

Feed the blackness blackness
There are always places we must go
Where fears and sorrows cling in dank corners
And anger dances just beyond the threshold

Rage if imprisoned sealed behind thick steel
just eats herself and feeds upon the prison
walls and with her atomic acid chews free
consuming all, blackness, steel, and me

Where shall we go this night? Who will we see?
Go there and taste the blackness
Dip crust into the shallow hot pool of rage
I am here for you now to burn your lips
And linger like acrid pepper there until it fades

Very nice ((S1owhand))......Thnax for your contribution

((Gryph)), you know my ups and downs......thank you

((LAmom))

your words are wind
my mind a multi-colored leaf
