Guilt Overflows

Guilt overflows with a spark of revilement its decay spreads like fire, blinding...conniving... binding up in its sticky debris still surviving tangled whispers bleeding through me reminders of a depthless past... listen to the sobs beneath me, the hardness of your ears meet my lips at last deep inside a heap of lies, refusing my cries you can never see how binded I am... how blinded I am. you too cannot see...you cannot see though your eyes meet me, still, you cannot see. the least you can do is listen listen carefully, sight is mere illusion, follow the voice intently, it cries softly, oh so softly... before it dies away unnoticed It whispers steadily, Remember me, Remember me...

I didn't notice you have 5 pages of material! Of course I got curious with your first entry. This is excellent. There's something about older pieces that make them stand out no matter how good/great newer ones are. Perhaps the experience and memories surrounding them make them even more haunting and powerful.

Dear David, Hope this finds YOU and YOURS Healthy and High in the Spirit. Welcome to the Worldof POETRYSOUP Congratulations on YOUR POEM "Guilt Overflows" for being a Well deserved Feature. A very descriptive POEM of what guilt is. I am a Big fan of YOUR Sister Laura. When I saw YOUR name on the "Who's on Line" I decided to start reading YOUR Artful POETRY. However I will not read Negativity as YOUR Comment below says. YOU would recieve superb Comments without YOUR Sister help. so Please
