caustic

The first thing I had to do was find a definition for the word, "caustic" Ha! I knew it would be mesmerizing work as soon as I found out the definition!! Damn! There aren't many writers who capture such intensity with their words!! I'm a huge fan!!

thank you most graciously..

"make me bleed out  / insanity"

Cool phrase above. You bled your sanity in an
unrelenting confession -- priest or no priest --
And it made for some inward glances within my
own caustic soul. Great write!

thank you Jerry happy it gave you some introspection however I think you a wonderful soul..

love Brenda

"twists in my bed  
ghosts enter with night terrors  
tortured thoughts of poetic voices "

Oh boy! - this got me right there - it encapsulates a poets battle with PTSD (Or at least that's what got me right there) - You have a real skill, a real ability to tap into the human condition and the strangeness of it :-/

as always I love your work :-)

thank you David for a fantastic comment...

love Brenda

My night terrors lack such eloquence, sad to say.  These seem like the lines of a lost soul, beyond redemption, but there's hope for you yet Crim.  Keep writing like this and you will be saved by the power of your choice.

thank you Sir Crow I will do my best..

I had an exorcist moment with a hint of romanticism...thx for that lovely lecture
