Temporary Grave
In a Temporary Grave
Buried alive but
Don’t worry about me
I’m doing just fine
Got veins that vine
Getting ready to climb
Through soil and dirt
Bloom into a garden of verses
Cause throughout it all
Might as well grow
Into my own sense of style
I’ll be here for a while
Waiting on future sunrays
Of brilliant amber strings
Strong enough to melt
Everything I once felt
Through ice and pain
Bloom within freezing sleet and rain
In a Temporary Grave
Buried alive inside
My dark dirt filled cave
Without any light
But don’t worry about me
I’m fixing to shine
Buried alive but

When writing I like to start somewhere
and end up somewhere else. Sort of like a journey
inside a song/poem. hahaha

Hey there Cisco!!
You should always think of a bad spot as temporary. Even
under the worst circumstances in my opinion.
Time moves and so will you eventually:)
Hope you had some great turkey and enchiladas for thanksgiving.

And line 5..."Got veins that vine"...brings to mind the famous seventeenth century erotic poem by Robert Herrick titled..."The Vine".

And so Del goes "Boom!".
"... a garden of verses" - nice!
Although I myself have gotten away from rhymes, I still can appreciate the skill of it when the flow and continuity is there, such as yours here. Well done.
And the anthem that it speaks is also enriching to read, and perhaps take some motivation from for ourselves.
I love it. Positive messages are a blessing to me right now. So thank you for this.

Glad I can make you feel good even if its just in a reading.

Dear A,
Temporary is the key turn phrase here. It might feel like an awful feeling or event will last forever but eventually it turns and light shines through. I think this write wonderfully expresses life’s endless series of problems and solutions, ebbs and tides. I hear a song in this. I’m totally envious of the rhyming. Brilliant write. H🌷

Hi H:)
This is true. You might feel stuck in a rut but it's not the case.
There is a lot to be said for being patient and figuring things out
on your own. Really get inside your mind and analyze what the issue is. Sometimes fear of change can really grip you.
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday.
I just finished a slice of pumpkin pie with lots of cool whip!!

Wow! You make being 'buried alive' sound just so dandy. I must try it someday! Seriously, loved the write & haven't even begun to delve into its deeper meaning, lol. (Pardon the mini pun with deeper, buried deeper, well you know? ;-)

Hey Billy Blue:)
I see someone took their witty pill today. haha
So glad you enjoyed btw.
yes - in this buried alive is a frame of mind. How things can
totally take over your life and you don't realize it till your done
buried - deeper - you know buried deeper. hahaha
Thanks for stopping back Mr. Snaggy

There's a symphony of time and tide within the smoothly flowing voice, which is somewhat wry. It's beautifully elucidated.

Hi Daniel.
Thank you so much for this comment. Was in a mood when I wrote this - and yes - I can be a bit of a smart ass. But I will do it with some style and rhythm. At least I will try:)
As writers, I love the fact that we can make something out of nothing.
All we need is our brain words.

I will help dig you out Adel. ;)
Because I am worried about you down there.
Got veins that vine, getting ready to climb.
I love that... I love the unique rhyme and rhythm.
Such a gorgeous flower, always blooming...
Your garden of verses is spectacular.
You have definitely grown your own sense of style...
Always hoping to shine a bit more light on you chica!
But you always shine bright, wherever you are...

Hi Kristina:)
Thank you so much for the help. Of course you'll help - cause we're cool like that. hahaha
We all have moments amiga. This write has a lot of double meanings for me. Growing while life is on pause was the biggest for me.
In other words, I'm here - I'm going to make the best of it
while I'm here and see what happens. Our moods are so influenced by our surroundings. For me, that's why writing is so important.
They are my vine lines. hahaha
Thanks for stopping by and the RL chica:)
It's always lovely to hear from you.
I've been MIA for a couple of days so fixing to do some
reading in a bit.
