Quarantine of the Soul

-Quarantine of the Soul- Tranquil pills fall deep like the night A sweet fangless course Bites with no remorse Your eyes struggle to read my ageless soul Lost Dark You open a heart under Quarantine The past The present The future Stand in the way of what was and never will be A contagious disease I call "LOVE!" (Past-- you came) Somewhere deep inside --with you-- The Maverick The Majestic The Arriving Vessel of Light I separated myself from the world --to be with you-- I polished a new diamond night With pleasures of meeting where our hearts began Deep like the night, you woke my sleepless soul Removing it from the safe harbor of the sea -Isolated from all to see No risk or chance, of smiling endlessly (Present-- you set) Tonight you fell from Mandalay You spoke in a way that Cut my throat with truth You detained my ego clouding the auspices sky Allowing a smile A tender peek into your heart It spread in ways -- I wanted more I kept deep until you found your way past the door Persistent memories In search of eternity Tonight lets learn to live again With no fear, I remove all labels Making the moon and sun rise together My love, my life now depends on you (Future-- you left) With no explanation The age of Quarantine will forever set You came to me Set me free Just to leave Now you are a virus --- Just like them!!!

Wow! This required several reads as the strength of emotions never abated, your words starkly honest, speaking to the anguish felt yet the vulnerability and what you cherished, is heartbreaking. A profound piece rich in emotional truths, beautifully written. A pleasure to read and re-read. blessings, lynn

Hey Linda, magnificent piece!! You had me hanging onto every single word. It really describes the angst and frustration of the speaker, as well as the goodness experienced even after the fall. Amazing down to the last letter. Oh, and I apologize fro not answering your question soon enough. I live directly below Houston, TX. Hit me up whenever you like Linda. And, as always, lets go where the winds don't blow so strange. Robert

Sounds like the hurt that never leaves. I can identify with that. Some of us hold on to things. That is tough. Thank goodness there are outlets like this. You are a gem!

PD, A marvelous free verse write in every respect here. "Love," that great emotive force will do it every time. Your gift of verse and relative storytelling here most certainly steps the reader through the essence of the "Quarantine of the Soul.' Very Well-Done!! A "7" + FAV!! Best Always, Gary

Fantastic lines Linda [You spoke in a way that Cut my throat with truth/You detained my ego clouding the auspices sky] too many men are 'simply' about the conquest - once attained they are on to the next fragile heart- Light & Love
