A Passage To Madness

A Passage To Madness?




                          Radiant spirit embraces this bleeding heart
                          to extinguish the past

                          Old wounds afflicting my mind your tender
                          touch magically mended

                          Stars appear swaying in a serpentine dance
                          mesmerizing iridescent gems...



                          Amidst darkness you ignited like candlelight
                          exuded warmth and trust

                          Words expressed love energizing worn aging
                          flesh floundering unbounded

                          A kiss planted on mine from her ethereal lips
                          bestowed gifts and priceless dreams...



                          Might this be pure illusion or a divine reality?
                          Time travels while I ponder my mental acuity.

I really appreciate you Valsa! Sometimes when I'm in a state of melancholy I begin with gloomy lines, but then the mood suddenly changes then I end up writing something more upbeat. Go figure! Lol. Thanks again!!...ab
