Death of Tears

Unfettered passions congeal with confusion each night as in darkness, my mind's journey roams depths of desire, deviant and untrusting leaving me despair. Twisting tourniquets ever-tightening grip as urges of fantasy relieve torment in tranquil pools of obsession, life falters yet intensely grows. Weeping rivers cast onto downy cushions meet their demise in sonant voiced billowed plumes that cosset my fatigued head with caresses of indulgent dreams. JF March 16, 2009

Not sure if the "twisting tourniquet" is the sheets from tossing and turning (smile) or, drug use. Either way this powerful write speaks to me ... Congratulations Jem for having your heartfelt writing selected as a feature this week here at the Soup !!
