wilted.....
..........
the fucking silence
continues to
hover and loom
such that silence
has now become of me
my mind is stagnant
my heart has grown numb
my soul lacks avidity
my pneuma is discontent
it matters not , that i'm
adored and well loved
nowhere near
promising
does my garden grow
no pockets full of posies
only dead roses
thorns and stems
trampled and stripped;
their petals -
laying in w i l t
there is no sadness
not one tear exists
no mental,
just physical anguish
the clock ticks
while trapped in
this arid expanse
with no words spoken;
invisible and inaudible
whispering winds carry .....
"I miss miss you's"
since it even seems;
my ink is running on empty
the muse has washed out
and fled
ideas fall from mind to pen
turning into dissonance
my fingers type all day,
but end up not writing shit
and, in my beloved
underground, i'm void of
the drive and devotion
although , my family here -
i dearly love , no matter
what's wounded and broken
but , nowhere near
promising
does my garden grow
no pockets full of posies
only dead prose and poetry
trampled and stripped;
even my words -
laying in w i l t
..........

I just haven't had the energy or focus. I owe an "amen, hallelujah" that I was able to spit this out. DAMN is it ironic that I've been so upset trying to write poetry vs prose & thru my hell, DID just that!!...

I know you are David, as I am for you. I thank you to the moon & back for your support. I hate failing you, as it seems I have atleast. Big Pandy hugs.. thank God it was mostly a byproduct of the new med, and I'm in better spirits. This health though. Ugh!
I've been wanting to spill blood although it scares the fuck outta me..so viola!

hugs beautiful one I know well the feeling
I haven't cried tears in ten years
I wrote a poem just yesterday about that called "soul"
you will write when your soul is readly...
this well illustrates the frustration and emptiness
of feeling depressed...
I pray for your return to self soon...
love you lady...

Omfg...
I . do . not . know. how the fuck you go through the madness you do, crim. As I told you, since childhood, all I've known is deep intense feelings. I've always called them a curse, but I thank the heavens now that I've experienced listless apathy for a couple weeks...gimme my anxiety back. It's hard to believe I felt so empty mere days ago.
Fierce hugs, my fellow Phoenix Goddess. Love you to pieces..we always rise, we always will...💫💞🙏

This is magnificent! Out of despair your muse has not only awakened but blossomed in dark splendior. I see a Phoenix risen from the ashes whose grand wings have taken flight. It takes a mighty bird to fly high among the dark clouds. You are in top form here my darling friend. XoXoXo John

John, I can always count on you to adorn me with beautiful words of encouragement. I thank the stars we crossed paths to enjoy each other's writing... it's quite the honor coming from the King of Metaphors & imagery. As I reflect now, you're right..dark writes scare me, but I wasn't even scared at this point. I've subtracted a new med & feel much better...apathy has never been a realm I've existed in, so those couple weeks were a weird place. I guess I proved poetry does exist within, I just needed a Poe moment to bless me. Even madness can be a blessing. Xoxo.
Now I have a free mind to come explore randoms from your page. Yay!

Despite the struggle you've displayed in this, you somehow managed to scrape together quite a beautiful write.
You will find the spark...give it time, because the words are clearly there.

Thank you, T. This is another example of how you've made this journey so much brighter alongside me in my 400 something days...since the beginning. You've grown into an awesome poet, although I had you pegged as a pro in the beginning. Back on track now...lol... I thank you for the support & reminding me the muse is alive. I dropped a new med & my life is better than the past couple weeks have been. I felt a Sylvia Plath coming on. Crims comp has inspired the sensual snob to let loose with naughty words again.... I feel that awesome in a mere couple days. 😅😮
Re: Re. Wilted

I am so happy to hear this. Yes, it has been quite the journey and I hate to see those inspirational influences dim under the weight of life's complications. You have been missed and I am glad to hear that Crim was a catalyst to keep going. Whether you're producing or not, just a pleasure to see you back and engaged in this world.

Thanks for the reassurance, HF.. the deep is definitely the place to unleash the madness. It was only that feeling of apathy...the building of nothingness within to purge & oh so easily too. The muse & I need to communicate better so I can step outside my comfort zone... Granted, apathy is not my idea of ever do so again. I've NEVER experienced it & thank God it was a new anxiety med.. I truly felt the channeling of Plath. We've gotta go there more often, apathy & suicide by head in the oven aside, ya know.,;)

It's so nice to see you show up. Your presence has been noticed & missed. Love & light your way, sweetums.💕

First, love and hugs.
Second, this is a haunting, soul baring piece. The DU and it’s inhabitants will be here when you get round to it.
Thirdly, I dare say, judging by what I have just read, your muse is whispering to you.
There is nothing wrong with giving yourself a time out ❤️

Thank you for all the sweetness & reassurance. Your love & hugs are extra special. Indeed, she was whispering & has been graced with a sudden reprieve today. 🙏
It's wonderful to see the same being granted in your life too. I see "you" making a comeback. Dare I say, I clicked on your avi & saw one beautiful, beaming soul glaring back. Cancer has nothing on you, chickie...keep on rocking the bravery!
Love & peace, Eerie...❤

Aww, I don't see myself as being popular or any better than my peers. I'm humbled you see me that ways. Your sentiments are on point, never let the numbers make or break us!
However, my state of mind was first brought on by already existing health issues. They're plentiful. A certain med exacerbated things & turned into a dark state I've never been in. I was upset I couldn't write, but I'm used to a slow output &, in this realm, nothing was working. I was more disappointed, not by losing viewers etc, but rather, losing my enthusiasm to be here. I think a lot of that has to do with changes quite a few are experiencing. I miss our old family dynamics, and that is saddening.
Ok, I've spilled quite a bit to you already today.😅...time to quit rambling. Pandy hugs for caring!!

I know the deafening pain of silence...the muted beat of the drum . My ears are bleeding, and my heart? ....well that bleeds into the river of the silent symphony.

Such a poetic comment, but I'm not the least surprised coming from you. A silent symphony is a great expression & oh, this fucking mad, bleeding heart of mine! I understand you..we are cut from the same cloth, David. Love & light sent from the south across the sea, sweet friend. I treasure you and value your steadfast friendship. 🙏💫💕
How about a beer too?;) 🍻...make mine gluten free though!

Re. wilted.....
You my dear poet, sometimes muse, are way too hard on yourself. We all do what we can and have to let the non essentials, at times, fall by the wayside. Those who truly care about you will not be offended by a missed PM or poem read and comment. Now me, on the other hand, I require your full and undivided attention and I want copious comments on each and every word I write. Capiche? Just kidding with ya...Breath and enjoy!
Oh, and this melancholy, beautifully composed poem describes, very well, the funky slumps I am in from time-to-time. And "pneuma" is a new one on me...great word smarty pants!

Bless any man who knows a Goddess when he sees one & worships her, is a good one. Heehee. Thank you for such the supportive comment, I can always count on you to do that! Actually, it was initially my health issues that had me out of whack & feeling down, yet anxious. My new med for anxiety caused apathy & I didn't identify with myself. It wasn't the writing or or messages that truly bothered me, I was just apologizing on behalf of that hellish state. I'm happy to report that med was dropped & I'm in a crazy state of anxiety, BUT I have feelings again, so I'm ever grateful! 😃 I can believe I taught YOU a new word, but I'm tickled pink, buddy!
