You shall not chase my gloom away!
There's such a charm in melancholy.
(Samuel Rogers, 1814)

I think, I was born under the shadow of melancholy.  I was a woebegone girl
since birth. My mother said she never saw anyone with such an aching heart.
To me there...

My Intimate Stranger

My intimate stranger

Why are we so far away from each others thoughts?
And we are not so thoughtful to each others needs
And we live under the same roof on the same bed
But our minds are miles apart at dead end
Withdrawn to each others shell

Why are we...

Ode To My Little Boy
From his voice springs the tenderest sound of lute
There is not a moment
mute
In the company of my little cherubim
Oh how I love him, how I love him!
 
Dissonance played in my core.
Before his birth 
My first born.
Our pride and Joy.
The cold of winter is all...

Forgotten Wife
Forgotten Wife -

WHY?
I’ve asked the question, 
A thousand times or more,
What more could I have done?
As I really didn’t understand
What changed?
What had changed this man? 
That man I first married.

Ever a handsome fella 
Dressed in khaki clothe,
Fresh-faced,
Gentle, caring,
Considerate loving husband,
Before going off 
To that stinken...

The Ins and Outs of Silence
four vignettes on silence

I
Muteness broadcasted
hush-hush flaunted
just like a coverall,
silence is a blanket
on human telepathy and intent.

II
It's simple, actions speak as loudly as words.
Silent treatment can be an
autumn breeze,
granting space
cooling tempers.

III
Sulkiness can be likened to
green gall, blatant brooding
and withdrawal characterized as
yellow cowardice,
Passive aggressive behavior exposed.

IV
Cats, life-long...

- a Candied Pout -
Upon  her  face  hangs  a  pout,
Which  under  her  philtrum  she  wears  so  pink.
Not that  she  wills  to  show  sulkiness,
But to  send  a  flirtatious  invitation,
And...

Premium Member Lost In the Reflection
Written: September 08, 2023
______________________________________________________________

In a realm where reason goes astray,
Where nonexistent boundaries sway,
Lines avoided, boundaries blurred,
Mirrors reflect a world absurd.

A soul that has sight beyond a wise mood. 
The sultry shade that mirrors exude
A temper indicative of obstinate pride,
Sniffy and haughty, it cannot hide.

Instead, transfer your...
