    waiting

     <>



    dreams are not unrealistic
        but, people can be
            and the limits we put on ourselves
                 often shelves that more golden thought

    overwhelmed by sorrow
    we put away for overmorrow
    which quite frankly never arrives

    and i am guilty as well
    sitting here in my paint by number hell

    procrastinating

    my creativity and concinitty
         are often in the vicinity of some deep slumber
              wake up from the sleep over
    or wash it off
         with strong soap and heavy water

    Beautifully composed in its dreamy language and self-critical explanations; a lyricism of impatient suffering and exploration in thinking. Bravo!

    Love it! "Paint-by-number hell" is a fabulous line, totally captures the self imposed limitations we all seem to have without even knowing it, until we of course attain a level of consciousness where we can step outside of ourselves and observe our own behaviours. And even when we have that ability, we can so easily be drawn back in without even noticing that we are indeed shelving our "golden thoughts"....

    thank you ! i thought this one was too choppy and lacked the flow that i so seperately seek. however, with all that said, you got my message loud and clear. thank you for taking the time Trocka7

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
