Molehills turn into vast strongholds
While an itch becomes an agony
And one stroke an ecstasy "

Hold still and I'll blow you
Back in proportion"

Yeah, pass it over here.  Those fears can all go up in smoke.  Thanks Jennifer!

valium & a blowjoy... if i had gentleman bits, i'd never leave the house

i felt my heart begin to hammer against its cage while reading this, your anxiety is palpable even if inexplicable to anyone on the outside
a damn fine write, crowfly
xoxox

Didn't mean to startle you.  "There's nothing to fear, etc."  I say it like a mantra.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  I say "crimson and clover" over and over to take my mind off it completely.  Thanks Katja!

It is funny how the past can seem "larger and more distorted" than it actually is. Most of us are using mirrors handed down to us from others which have been warped and tarnished over years of abuse. This was a great thought provoking piece, Crow.

Even the present isn't perfect.  The distortion could run in the family, but there's any number of factors.  Once you recognize the source it's easier to defeat (I hope).  The mirror here could have come from a carnival funhouse.

I like this, and your take on your subject. It is fun to go after the absurd every so often, isn't it?

Exactly!  I try to see the humor. Thank you Jerry!

"Molehills turn into vast strongholds
While an itch becomes an agony

~this is a feeling I know well.. that one lil tease/"stroke" of *eureka that we wait for, heart ready
to listen and ink it. Your works throughout are right-on targeted examples of fickle muse/fickle woman.
luv that double interp..

"You're being a moron
Hold still and I'll blow you
Back in proportion"
~you *hadta know I'd have giggle here.. is your perfect forte to bring them..ty I do believe you have
a moody high-maintenance muse--that possibly hangs out in those stubborn crevices where cunty muses go.
been begging mine for luvins to little avail. feel the Deep, past the banter here darlins..hughugs*

Sensing heavy frustrations as well as the angsty down times. the mirror warning at beginning makes me
smile, tho-  to know that you foresee these down times a bit.[ a positive]
The mirror does warp & I'm not a fan of, soo.. I demand you luv on your reflection more, worthy one! ;)
aaand I've now gotta 'meatloaf' song in my head on way out.
you pen *this feeling in coveted Crow-speak..& is always enjoyed.

But no muse is bad news.  Need at least one in my corner or I go to pieces.  
Thanks for the encouragement regarding my mirror!  I'll keep it in mind whenever I pause and reflect.  And thank you for your detailed, fun comment Darksighs.  This makes my night!

Sir Crow, I honestly enjoyed this piece. . .particularly the inward perspective. . .Warped?. . .Hmm. . .Common, perhaps. . .But Brilliant this piece is. . .Enjoyed. . .xoxo, Devlin:)

Thanks Devlin!  "Warped" might be a little harsh.  Maybe slightly bent....

It's all a matter of perspective they say... but when that perspective is warped, well then who the hell is responsible for the actions we take?  Indeed, some things in our minds seem to be blown way out of proportion once reality sets in and we come to find what we may have feared may not have needed to be feared at all, or maybe even should have been embraced... a blessing.  All a matter of perspective.  :)

I agree.  The biggest fear is that of the unknown, at least for me.  Having as many of the facts as possible, "shedding light on the subject," helps enormously.  Then, yes, what was dreaded might be embraced.  Might turn out to be rewarding.  Thanks Michael!

I like a lot of your poem and the way you is brilliant and this poem is well written but Man reading this piece gave me a is my anxiety
Thanks for shearing

One problem with fear is that it can be contagious, so don't take me too seriously.  Thanks DevilsPoet!  

They said it all...so I will just say, Good read, Crowfly.:)

Hi Crow.....you always amaze me with every write......I think at times I look into a mirror of deception......xo :)

AHHhhh...Crowfly,...this piece presents such a vivid picture of a ( slightly ) distorted introspection...though subtly 'disguised' throughout by the poet's (your?) wavering, perception of the uncertain.

It's soo very true--indeed--how our fear of what we cannot completely understand, or control, causes us to view our existence as though we were gazing into one of those crazy 'fun-house' mirrors...( your comparison.....sooo spot on!)  

You have such an intriguing, awesome ability in expressing intense emotional moments!

....And as for your 'giants'.....welll...when i read this, i couldn't help but think of you as a sort of modern Don Quixote....facing your own personal obstacles.... (attacking your own 'windmills' ...your own 'giants'.....)  Of course, regarding those 'giants' ....wellllll.......don't be afraid to attack them straight on! ( 'cause after all, "the bigger they are, the harder they fall! ")

Sioch`ain leat, mo Chara! xo
