how beautifully you\'ve worded this unfiltered expression of your lamenting: contemplation..
for underneath all your listed reasoning for misery, exists that tangible - search, for relief
highlighted in that brisk answer to a telephone ring..
there-in rests our answers to positivity\'s sustainability: we\'re just one call, one visit or even one conversation away, from undoing this shadow of anxiety that\'s threatening to swallow us whole,
so then, let us not be mere victim\'s but victor\'s: even over our self-induced depression, \'by proactively choosing\' to write, talk and communicate in anyway we can,
\'this too shall pass:
we will prevail!\'
stay strong: let us all be brave and reach-out for help if we need it
(what a great example your writing represents dear poet)

reads as very deep, a brave share if authentic and not entirely imagined,
firstly, to commit yourself to such a journey of self-realisation takes a lot of effort, even if purely with artistic intent,
inevitable, we\'ll come across real skeletons
and dare we stare too long down at that depthless pit of vulnerability without preparation, well..
I can only assume that\'s how all those genius art\'s end up - lost,
caution is as much a virtue as bravery, in some situations..
I suggest not opening all our doors at once, this is why counsellors and therapist\'s help us unwind our thought\'s: gradually, a layer at a time so we don\'t get overwhelmed..
anyway, forgive my self-indulgent sermon dear poet- I truly enjoyed this \'film noir-esque\' depiction of those raw nerve ending\'s that we collect/build-up in our lives and your imaginative interpretation of the struggles they can represent: if we let them..
a wonderful write Dusk, such an immersive read
thanks for sharing!

I too sometimes wonder about that last door. The problem is that you cannot just take a peek. Once it opens it sucks you in and closes automatically.

Ah - - Dusk you have scored yet again with this engaging confession of romantic memories which ever remain - - a special sigh too for your final stanza which oozes with pure poetic imagery.

Here in Texas we have forgotten tales of warmth. I deeply enjoyed this compact little rumination. You invoke so much with so few apt words.

L. B. Mek said:

Brilliant!
I feel the heat of your creativity\'s furnace all the way from here, strike my friend - strike bold!
despairingly whilst your pen still pulses Red, bleed out - every inch of poetic spark and unfurl every tether to that next line, strike and strike again..
for we Few, know too well - the quietude of true solitude, when those words drift hither and thither and we\'re left grasping at mere embers of neither, dreaming of what was once so intangibly: real..
\'There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,
The earth, and every common sight,
To me did seem
Apparelled in celestial light,
The glory and the freshness of a dream.
It is not now as it hath been of yore;--
Turn wheresoe\'er I may,
By night or day,
The things which I have seen I now can see no more.

The Pansy at my feet
Doth the same tale repeat:
Whither is fled the visionary gleam?
Where is it now, the glory and the dream?\'
from Wordsworth\'s lament of his lost ability, to do - what we take for granted - that is: to simply ink our scribbled truth\'s..

d.a., I do love your writing. You know that already. But this is above good: where she left that tremor

a tired heart
L. B. Mek said:

This, be that duality of meaning, in all existence:
\'Yet, here, within
these ageing bones,
springtime
holds no allure.

Life itself, a poetry
which writes
within us,
where it will,
as it will.\'
what a great write Dusk, its those harsh reality\'s that help us glean our life\'s true value and how poetic you\'ve versed our collective truth\'s with your write my talented friend...
we hate terms like realism, pragmatism and acceptance, they sound so limiting when voiced, so archaic when read and yet,
when a talented wordsmith finds inspiration those same - stale, words and ideas - ignite
a burning realisation of what truth\'s we hide beneath all those excuses we lament, to rid ourselves of that inescapable feeling:
whispering, there is yet so much more to this dwindling horizon, we face bravely with each treasured breath...

The delusion that everything is OK, the hope that it might all work out, come good, can only last so long before reality impinges - expressed much better than I have.
