Delirium

 
time alone
I used to love
with bliss
serenity
like sea waves crashing_
but not this
madness
this panic_
I am
a caged bird
a girl with
delirium and
a hurricane of thoughts
and
images of death_

Reason A. Poteet Date: 6/7/2020 7:32:00 PM You pictured it well, Constance. We are all learning new ways to cope with the lesser of two evils...disease vs. discontent. Panic fits well with delirium. Congratulations on a fine yalto and your placement. Login to Reply Constance La France Date: 6/8/2020 4:44:00 PM Reason, thanks for the comment and the congratulations_Constance

Aditi Mishra Date: 5/22/2020 6:25:00 AM I can relate to the emotions flowing throughout this poem. I guess it happens with people who crave solitude. We love the peace it brings but are haunted by recurring thoughts, some of which are bizzare. All the best :) Login to Reply Constance La France Date: 6/8/2020 4:48:00 PM Aditi, thanks for visiting and the comment, appreciate _Constance
