Chisel away at the brick, Seen through dark rings, One's fading bliss, Never too old to glimpse that sensual feeling, Behind closed doors, My eternal wanting ignored, Or not allowed to express? Missed the mark on potential, care to touch, Tugged back too far, Lost in the new black, Remain where I stand, "Block out that Sun," It's knowing I'll witness again, Not of my choosing, "Yes, just change the words for something more inspiring." Out of one's control, Flows down the pipeline from the other world, My puppeteer, Content on stamping out any balance I may have found, Those whispers in the ears, Electric currents controlling every direction, Listened carefully throughout the years, Transmissions, "Don't make me repeat again." What is it they want me to find? When they are controlling the strings! I am for the audience's amusement, prolonging my demise, Within their forever-changing storyline, I guess I'll let it go, Even if they won't.

The link to the artwork wasn't complete on this one Lee. It doesn't show up. Do you do the artwork ? Melancholy feelings. I don't like being smothered or controlled. I think entrapment to me is the worst thing, I always have to break free, eventually. I feel this in your poem. The emotion you vibrate through your words is strong. You write well.

I will send you a Soup mail with instructions for adding a picture. Took me a while to work it out too. I now can even add a You tube video, which also took me a while to figure out. Cheers SV

Though I have been on this site a while now I still have trouble understanding how to incorporate my pictures on to the poem... I input the URL but can never see it myself, I just assume it's there. My artwork part of my process I enjoy of the given expression. :) thankyou ever so much for your comment.
