Toxic State

Sometimes my mind screams out to be aroused; begs to be satisfied. 
...yet she remains subdued; chained to the limitations of this world.

I think we all get caught in that state now and then FJ but the gift of poetry is our constant therapist. There we have no limits. Good stuff FJ Blessings Carl

A brillant capture of what we crave and long for, our infinite aspirations and of our limited powers as human souls in front of the wonders of the Divine! At least within words and the realm of poetry we can assuage that sense and need of reaching what is beyond the limits! A pleasure to read your beauties FJ! Stay tuned and blessed.
