Herald

Try as I might, I can never seem to hide certain things well enough.

Oh herald unto me
hails of dark
and
howls of moon.

I allow toxins to permeate
and
miasma to billow.

I allow gold to lay hidden
and
songs to die soft.

I do not allow myself to tire
though still - I tire.

What is this purpose?
No smiles around.
This chest is tight.

Better to carry on,
alone, but surrounded;
still hoping in vain
that I'm worth to be found.

My eyes hurt mostly.
My head hurts next.
Been hitting it lately
to seal the vortex.

I can hide it for a while,
and try to wear disguise,
but when they find me out
they always tell me with their eyes.
They always tell me with their eyes,
and I try to look away.

What else could I expect?
What else?

Oh, I really like where this writing took me, as if I could just super impose the process onto me and use it to see what would arise in me. I think that there is a very subtle difference in bewteen plagarism and research.

And that cry at the dawn of time where you are permeated uncontrollably in search for something that fatigues. No need to stop and think and that sinking feeling will not reside until the anwser to the question or the question triggers an answer in the hope that this will suffice.

Oh so enigmatic.

But pretty

Thankyou

That is a very high compliment, thank you so much for your reading.

Your poems puzzle me because just when I think I know what you mean. I wonder if maybe you meant something else? Good write. Always a thought provoking piece when I visit.

Usually I like to leave it to mystery, but since you've been an avid reader and I have so few fans I'll answer three questions! Like a djinn, or a lazy poet. I like to think of it in the more magical manner.

Lol. :)
Ok. Three questions:
What are you hiding.
What else are you hiding.
Who are you hiding it from.

[RFDIII]

Mental Health Issues, Depression, Most everyone.
