Echoing woes

Petals drenched in poison pearls of emerald envy, carefully placed objectives whilst adrift in my tears of realization Longing sorrowful souls among lilac lakes, buried deep into somber depths of tinkering procrastination Starving for ruby righteousness and pristine perfection, and yet still reaching towards a tilt heart searching desperately sunset embers Distinguishing luminescent authenticity among bittersweet endives drifts away with each cooling December Shall I pursue soft screams for kissed loving ethereal roses dazzled with enchanting sensations To float away from every twisted hazing hoax with every spoken whirling weapon - coated with fabrications

We plan many objectives, but they are not realized because of our procrastination. We long for perfection, but not actualized. Beautiful selection of words and lofty diction.

Hi Peonie! I found this a deep introspection, superbly described, of a dimension of your approaching your creative process …with your excellent ability to make the inner side visble to some outer visualizations. Sure gets the thoughts flowing. Hugs!

I identify with your words. Many have incompleteness. You describe it well. For me, the tinkering procrastination has been holding me back. Thanks for the reminder.

Dear P! What a wild ride through emotions! I love how you mix nature with feelings - those poison pearls and lilac lakes are well-inked. You've nailed that struggle between perfection and reality. Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
