Marionette
By the strings, hangs a pretty little
tragedy; tied in bows by a force all infinite Tinkered & toyed; redundantly, she
watches the iniquitous pendulum sway Seized & entangled by inadequacies; her mind & body always in dissonance Little rag doll smiles & keeps it sexy; still, will she welcome her final matinee

You're absolutely right. This is the healing place where all can purge & have our bittersweet words acknowledged..we are all fucked up in our own right. I'm grateful to be amongst all you fuckers too.I'm at home.🥀🖤

Re. Marionette
A wave of sadness brushed into that very first line for the needed impact of the entire poem. You say volumes with so little. Exceptional soul-bearing write. I can relate to this...and it will pass. Still will send good energy your way.

Makes me think of Pinocchio's triumphant song 'I have no strings to hold me down....' but rethinking it 'Tomorrow I'll have no strings to hold me down..' (well I would feel this way with the weekend near!)

Oh how I wish I didn't. Most days I'm completely humbled & at a peace with it. It's just been a bad week, but the writing helps whereas it would just fester otherwise. Thanks for the read, Solomon

I've always had a thing for puppets on strings. I have another name on here that I've hadn't used in awhile "Just A Puppet". So had to take this home with me lol. Beautiful as always, friend.

Thank You to the girl who's been through hell & back...her final matinee far from thought, I hope. Pain is all relative no matter the force that holds us down. Usually I have the "give me more life" outlook, but sometimes it gets heavy & the Goddess slips.;) Sending love.💕

Thank you so very much. I'm usually laughing at my predicament to spite being bitter. I gave myself that name quite awhile back & if anything, be a pretty mess.;)

Gorgeous, sad and eloquent write, Pandora. You describe the helplessness, hopefully fleeting, of the marionette. Love these lines, no strings attached.

Thank you, crowfly. I can always count on you to feel my words. I'm glad you found beauty in the sadness. That's what I aim for as to why I named myself that years back.;)

Pandy,
Gorgeous write, my friend. I loved that. 'Hangs a pretty little tragedy', oh my God, I love that line(can I have it? lol.).
You're awesome, Pandy. Don't be down, you're too beautiful, heart and soul.
Your buddy, and birthday mate,
Matthew.

Thank you, buddy. I guess we both were showing vulnerabilty yesterday. I gave myself that title as beautifully broken was so cliche. Better days ahead, sweet friend. Btw..please put an avi back up, you know you're staying.🙄😉

I don't know, Pandy. I'm so lost right now, but I don't think I could leave some people, like you, you're too darn nice.
Be well, Beautiful.
Love,
Matthew.

Brava, Pandora! The picture is perfect. I wholly identify with your "Author's Note." The concept and metaphor of the marionette ideally describes the tug of life's responsibilities and pain that makes us dance when we just feel like escaping, resting, making love. Beautiful.

Thank You, dear one. I'm sure many can relate & that's comforting although unfortunate the same. Sometimes when dealing with this body that hates & gifts me with the unwanted, it turns into war. I always rise though.;)❤

Surely sense sorrows sadness, sending shimmering sensations slowly stimulating sympathies soundles symphonies. Savage songs souls secret sometimes so strongly sedate shining spirits. Sweat simplicity spells success, so shine special soul... remember you must first be down to get up.
