Skeleton

Skeleton, Skeleton, Skeleton, Skeleton, Skeleton

Closets ablaze, melt my past reality. Lets push the 
boundaries to what is real and not rel for this clan 
you see.

Let's get over all that doesn't last cause the present moment
has come and gone. No more skeletons shout to death all that's
been never dying and leaves many lliving shamed.

And I want skeletons no more in that big, tall amoire with a skeleton
head on the shelf.  My mind lives in its head no more.  We're no longer
haunted as extermination of our past memories blew up in smoke.

Skeleton, Skeleton, Skeleton, Skeleton, Skeleton

Melt my past reality.  Lets push the boundaries on what's real and not
real for this clan you see. There are no longer scary hellos from our past
or do not enters that do not last.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

There are time when one has to clean out the closet, instead of coming out. The stuff in there must be taken to the dump, burned, and a new page turned. I like the essence of this poem and the message. Great job! Joseph

Very insightful verse, Susan! Skeletons should stay in closets so we can look forward to better days. Hope you have a terrific Fourth of July! Love, Carolyn
