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. 2:28 a.m. 2/18/2022 Lake Worth Florida USA

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

Highly recommended: Tap into your E.I. (Emotional Intelligence) -- The wetter the lips, the better the kiss, I say. Smiles, Gershon
