All of I know them I see them I break bread with them Strangers all Images taped on Stalins wall Some long gone Some far far away Childhood memories choking me These walls Slowly crushing me No one sees No one is here Alone Living inside my own deadly fear Clinging to black and white photos Shivering, for sure cold and lost smiles Dreams seeping into wine glasses Hopes drip slowly down the sink faucet The afghan, covers me from childhood Back then I possessed a smile As I dreamed to love or maybe to die Vyborg mystic nights, I the naive spy Lusting adventure and Lena's try I lost Now alone, I stare in the mirror Asking Who the hell am I? The stranger and the dead spy On Instagram, just search ArthurVaso!!!

Dark, vivid images evoke fear, Arthur. I can't help but wonder what inspired this write, but then I realize, I have had similar thoughts. They travel with us and take over when we are at our weakest, my friend. Awesome writing! Love, Carolyn

Introspective feelings and emotions of a spy crafted by dark emotions that aggrandize and succumb to knowing the reasons of how and why and then questioning oneself for their actions. You raised the bar on this one Arthur.
