In the Next Room
The best feeling in the world -
escaping into the boundless bounds
of soundless sounds, glistening nightmare,
Darkness… Reaching forth endlessly.
Neither falling nor flying -
living nor dying.
Equilibrium in tact
with the will to terror
expelled by nothingness,
convened – converted
Visage of the abyss,
heart beat land mines
of suspension.
And a breath caught
like never dying in a dream.
White light room
apparently empty
in color unfolding
like apparitions.
We must be alone again.
But then we aren’t.
Because -
She is doing craft filled activities in the next room.

Author's Note
Sometimes I am not certain what I believe in pertaining to love and the like or anything really at times which seems to be the effects of staring long into the abyss but I have no regrets and cannot be certain what an alternative outcome would be other than conjecture however perhaps the best feeling I ever had was waking up and having the woman I loved in the next room moving about in her way smiling and brighter than the brightest day and accepting of by barbarities greeting me with a kiss and a radiant smile maybe that was the only time I didnt feel alone and did not mind the sun light.

It's that fondness... that once found love within a particular moment that adheres so very perfectly to our memories... borrowing deep into our very psyches.... that makes for extremely easy, yet beautifully painful poems to write.... they flow like spilling blood....
I was captivated by your piece and moved beyond words by your Author's note...
