It

It is a horizon of dreams aloft in hope. It is love, stirred with hate that drips need to bleed us, heal us and force our tired cope. It is a circle never ending, a line never bending, and it holds questions with no answers, like keys to kingdoms none can find to turn or master. It is that door, the door, where dear ones come and go, ones who carry joy, hold us, love us, then, in time they lack reasons to feel or the want to know us, so, no, I mean, yes, it is not long-term, strongly rooted trust. It is a strange, bewildering, momentous fuss that boils in us until we bubble up our filthiest cuss. It is same attempts in a familiar game of strange ranging from old to presentations tweaked as new that leave us standing without scent of a clue. It is the reason creating all things we do and the matter with our universal supply of glue. It is your craziness fondling my insanity, too. As a match, it does flame fan mankind’s fire to rise in heat stroked red curls ever higher. It is the silence that secrets our desires and the stillness of hush-laced conspires. It causes human hands failed attempts to grab sky-warm, star blankets, not to be human had. It is a riddled fear maze forcing us to run, to race by men with aimed happy guns, to quick stride far from addicts selling sons and slowly consider embracing those we have shun as we forgive ourselves for all never seen done. It is another day, and, say, here it does come. ... CayCay December 3, 2017

In my humble estimation this is Masterclass all over. It takes a while to sink in though and when it does it roots the reader for a double take. I feel it requires discussion and analysis. Bugger the placement, it simply is your best work. Your razzamatazz style is deeply eloquent also. Take it home girl, it swings IT rocks and IT rolls

Thank you, my darling. Tim was floored as well. Me thinks John Lawless doesn't like how I mess with verbs, nouns, etc. His thing is not the thing I do as my thing! I sure appreciate your return visit and, as always, your presence. Love ya ... CayCay

CayCay, a bit of a riddle, a bit of mystery and a beautifully written poem.

Yes, IT isn't clear about what IT is, is IT? I enjoyed writing this one and made the mistake of thinking it would place (never assume, right?) so I wholeheartedly value your comments. Many thanks, James ... CayCay

Wow - I'm floating on fulfillment because I believe you were genuinely touched by this write in a powerful way, that is what it is about - moving someone, right? Thank you so much for praise that causes my inner-muse to jump up and down (I can feel her doing so.) Blessings ... CayCay

Hey, Kim - you just gave me a first. I was typing my thanks in the box below this, when all blinked, flashed and then landed you. Why I'm thinking of the nose wiggling Samantha, I've no clue. Thanks for sharing a bit of your morn with me, always a pleasure. Thank you for many things ... CayCay

Your creative imagery in the emotional/human realm is outstanding. So many mind-blowingly (is that a word, no, but it has to be for now:) mind-blowingly beautiful thoughts expressed in your rich, sumptuous, deep write. I can see why Tim loved it so! 'craziness fondling my insanity' and 'sky-warm, star blankets, not be human had' - your poem is glittered line after line with gems like these. Scintillating, superb and authentic poetry my friend.

You are such a poet that your comments are lyrical! I didn't think this one was going to get read. I've learned there is never just one consistent reason, and none of the reasons are worth fretting, so many, if not all, here do. I will admit that my mind, she wandered. Loved reading your message and look forward to answering when I get a bit more chatty (can't stop yawning). I want to go read your poem, thank you for pointing out a new one, oh and for being you! I hope all is golden ... CayCay

Caycay, the depth of your emotions is SO deep, and you are so in tune with humanity. Wait until you see the way I approached THIS one. You will cry out .HOW Virgo! Nothing like this one could I ever manage to pull off (mine won't be posted for a while yet but soon!!) Great work, dear friend

Why do I continually click into this box and talk to myself after your visits? Somewhere Pink Floyd is singing, 'anybody out there...'

So good to see you. 5 minutes ago I was a sunshine gal, since my Mom called insisting I attempt to call my wayward, near homeless bother using some stranger's phone # on her caller id. Both Mom and Bro stress/grief have me crying. I just paused, took some deep cleansing breathes which didn't return me to sunny, but I'm only partly cloudy now. Have to absorb what I've been absorbing heap long time now! Thanks for the therapy, you are such a good listener. I'm gonna jump down to the other box.

Whoa, having just read your inbox I now understand the significance of this one. Its so deliciously deep and gathers in the end to climax in an unexpected twist. Im left breathless on this take. I will have to read it again and again. I will inbox you after. You rock girl

Tim just let me vent, bless you both; two powerful, gentle men. So good to interpret your presence as a sign of your well-being So hard to pick up your 'status' vibe at this distance. Hey, let's get out of here, regular email, k? Oh, my fav line was, 'It is your craziness fondling my insanity, too.' (like I said, my muse wrote this one, where did she pluck that line?)
