"Where Is My ...Window?"

Think about it...

"Where Is My ...Window?"

Things just aren't the same.

Feeling "off" -

the silence that really isn't any different

it's just NOW it feels ...so heavy

so empty...

the world is ticking away somehow

and I want to be ...somewhere

...somewhere I choose

- somewhere I want

- some time I want.

The dark isn't friendly now

it feels tight and close

uncertain

I need ...no, I want

being held

It was supposed to be

but 

life happened

and now ...what?

Yes, life does happen and not always the way we would choose it to be, either we live with it or bang ourselves in the head trying to change it. Valentine

Not sure it ever turns out exactly as we have planned or hoped, but still we should keep that hope alive. I enjoyed this poem today Chris. I really like your style of writing.

[Chris]

Thank you, glad you came by and paused.

[Andrea Mouser]

very relate-able!! :( almost claustrophobic

[audrie]

This is certainly how I have felt in the recent past. Something in my life just off - just being at a place in my life where I take a look around and wonder what the f**k have I been doing and what should come next. I understood this entirely

[Stephen]

Umm ... Very thoughtful! How dominantly you speed-up the flow expressing the realness of being loved is very intriguing. With the time, nothing remnant same as before and the feelings, yes ..of course, Off.

Well penned!

[Chris]

I feel ..."discovered"... almost.

[Chris]

THAT was meant meanly... just in sense of friends.

[Stephen]

Yeah, I got that feel because it almost or most of the time happens among the friends... You know what? The memories of friends`re very hard to make burn into the ashes but as the time moves ..walks away from the life .."The dark isn't friendly now ...it feels tight and close."

[Chris]

Life has a bad habit of getting "busy"...

[Stephen]

Lol .. you make me chuckle, Chris ;)

[Chris]

now THAT was the idea

[Stephen]

Lol ..Got it! I must say now, you`ve got high knacks.

[Chris]

Comes as a pre-req - ya know?

[Stephen]

Lol ..Chris .. Man, You makin' me chuckle ;)

[Chris]

we ain't one-trick ponies - ya know... chuckling here

[Stephen]

Haha ... you such a funny guy ;)

[Chris]

just ...real... is all. Good seeing you stop by

[Linda alexander]

...somewhere I choose
- somewhere I want
- some time I want.
so may can relate to this poem, great write, very thought provoking, we aspire for the dreams we cherish and settling is hard, constantly looking for window is so genuine aspirations, well done, impressed

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Indeed the dark holds dangers, excitement and for me at least intrigue, a most provocative read.

[Chris]

Thanks Tom, glad you paused

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

your welcome.

Hello Chris,

What? Now we create our own openings turn what seems like dissolution into our own gains and desires. We take the world as we see it and for however long we can...dominate. Become the whispers in the wind and the demons that haunt. Well unless you want to be the saint that saves.

Forgive me, not everyone wants to paint the world in blood and black. Or do we? To each our own.

With Love,

Matthew

[Chris]

Hi Mathew... sometime I wonder that point. Seems many want permanence until it's NOT the permanence that they want. Ya know?

[Matthew Kult]

Absolutely, We think we have to walk this set line of Fate. Is it all predetermined as such? Are those who are suppose to be lonely only capable of loneliness? Not at all, even the darkest and most sadistic find live...even if they are "incapable"

[Chris]

You bring up some "interesting" thoughts...only capable of lonliness... so many seem to push away or instigate their own walls, some choices make no sense under any light BUT the one of your thought. But that IS what Poetry does - touches the emotional points within the listener and establishes resonances that echo and flow behind the eyes. It raises questions and brings thoughts... and has us holding collective breaths. Good meeting you.

AWAKENING maybe just a feeling or maybe feelings became so real they became reality. :) i love the way u made it be something different without saying what was. The poem feels like thoughts in ones head, totally bizarre yet completely familiar. I think its very awesome!! :D

[Chris]

Goodmorning from here...nice of you to pause with me...
