Linda Lee

Locked, the fourth floor’s doored cubical
Inside the ghosts are lined up saying ‘hi’
Never is there goodbye: no living/leavin’
Did fear entrap? Is it power of the mind?
And who is to say, within, is not Nirvana...

Long roads taken, to nothing at all...
Entangled internals that never flee...
Eternity so vast; a door shut, finite.

(9/7/20: '05 Beneteau 373; KKMI)

There's only one I know who can compose such an artful and thought provoking double acrostic poetry like this... Susan W and Taai are one and the same. You ever enchant my imagination, my friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

yes, we are stunning Susans! lol I used to think it was the dullest name ever until I got frustrated with being called all its variations (so many I couldn't believe it!) that now I have finally realized it's a very interesting label after all! :))

I've missed you too! When I saw that Taai Tekai was gone I was so sad.. :(( but now I've found your talented and spirited pen again and I'm so happy! :)) Your chosen mother-tongue name was so beautiful.. but I have to say that I'm particularly partial to the stunning name "Susan" lol!!
