Going Sane

Sir Crow a poem I can relate to deeply thank you my friend..

excellently penned..

love Crim

Thanks Crim.  I'm glad you can relate.  Purgatory can be a lonely place.

We all need a little time away from the insanity around us, a secret place to collect thoughts into a safe space to heal and regain enough strength the jump back into the fray... very nicely expressed!
JJ

A retreat is necessary occasionally.  Frequently for me.  I need abundant time to gather my wits.  Thanks JJ!  

Awwes, like your "going sane in Tranquility".. and in sweet embrace-- perfect dear Crow!

"The stained axe jettisoned
No **redrum around here     <~~ **The Shining"-esque.. you witty man! lovelove it!
And no drop into despair
Just a layover in Purgatory"
~all 'weaponry' silently stowed away at moment it seems.. darkly a'giggle I am!
your 'layover' tells that hells might not be changing,  but we control those small comforts and
how long we smile into solace. tones as if in wait for the next upheaval maybe in there too..

Agrees we all need the simple escape to shared peaceful moments/good company,
really adore your ending, as 'easy stay' sounds as if cud be good news?! hope so, truly!
much luvs

The "easy stay" is optimism or an effort to retain some hope, the concluding lines of a dreamer.  Who knows?  Things just might work out, given the chance.  Thanks T!  

I hope things work out Taryn.  I hate to see you in a dark place.  Thanks for the comment!

I would have never considered Purgatory to be a place of sanity ~ clever, and blown away by this thought provoking piece. . .Enjoyed. . .xo, Devlin.

It's a place for transition and thinking about one's actions, and their consequences.  I've been spending plenty of time here, maybe too much.  Thanks Devlin!

Crow, this read to me of an in between madness n despair...purgatory not exactly sanity..but numb.  
You use purgatory so often doll..makes me wonder what that still in between is for you..the one especially with the cars and no water..this desert place..ant any rate..
No murder no bottomless pit of sunk to funking l

As a manic depressive..all to well recognized.  
Boy you put much in little.  
Love it darlin T..a redrum of sworC..

Upsy daisy sweetness!

I do keep things brief, don't I?  Maybe too much so.  I imagine quite a few of my poems could use further developing.  I need to go a little saner.  Thanks Jennifer!

No no no....sayin thur is greatness in that..dont be one a these gun shyes to flattery or i swear! Will knock your head in like a monkey......  
N fuck calm is happy..sometimes calm is jes downright boring!  
Be Crow. To full extent.  
Youre always givin us gals be you..thats good advice..see how we fall o'er T crow? Take your own sugar doll.
You are divine...as is.

It seems each one of us seeks that special sanctuary of serenity....where we can attain that feeling of balance between the extremes of emotions--to experience that state of being a bit more in control.....

With your very skillful pen, Crowfly, i can sense your very poignant plea for a more "even flow" in (your) life !

(....And may that soon be yours!)

( If " no redrum around here" is a subtle reference to the intensity of the emtions expressed in the "shining".....just wanted to say that this struck me as being very cleverly, and creatively crafted.....soooo spot on--indeed!)  

Sioch`ain leat, mo Chara xo

Peace of mind is so elusive but so precious.  A calm person is much more apt to be a happy person.  I've got a long way to go.  Thank you Enchantress!

And no expected phone calls later?:) good read Crowfly.

Ha!  No, I tossed my cell before I got here.  Thanks Grace!

...for the record, normal is boring! lol....I live daily on the edge of insanity! o_O
Crowfly, you have such a brilliant way of manipulating words! I adore that about your pen.

"The stained axe jettisoned  
No redrum around here "  <--  me likey!

normalcy is overrated. But too much crazy will make you nuts. In my experience, anything done too much and too long will create problems.

There is a lot of ideas that can be extrapolated from this based on what normalcy is and what the balance between crazy and mundane life might be like. At least, I have taken your poem philosophically. Yet, it does harbor some deeper emotions, I sense, when you say, "relief from certain tendencies". Nice write.

Sanctum is kept out of reach to keep us chasing rainbows.
