Alexithymia

I am made from broken pieces An assemblage of fading memories The cracks in my mind are a penumbra To the pulchritudinous of its art. The surging ways of my monachopsis are kept at bay by The mellifluous voices that I have miraculously been surrounded with. My ethereal scars have given Their labyrinthine paths over to the Palimpsest that is my life The writings of a new era. I will make broken beautiful.

Whoa, Jenny! I don't even know how to begin to comment on this one: My lexicon 'be too meager.' I'll be back to you later, once I get my vocabulary up to snuff ! :) gw
