Hell and Peace II
Dear psychosis, your unending season
is now the winter of MY discontent!
Lowly your voice howls within
the wintry confines of my mind.
Thickly your veil covers my eyes
and I feel a coexistence between
Hell and peace. But what is reality?
The once-lived serenity of my beach
is beaten by waves of molten anxiety –
volcanic bursts of unease and defeat,
but I must face my pain and fears, now.
So, I dip my foot in, allowing myself
to be consumed with the fiery embrace
of Hell, and the veiled serenity of peace.

I love your poem. I feel trapped between hell and peace. Your words resonated with me.
Have a great day!

Sometimes (and only sometimes) i feel You have a better grip on REALITY than i could ever have
because
in each instance i QUESTION what the fuck has just occurred
i have to figure out if it's my mental illness or my ability to FEEL using ALL of MY 7 SENSES -- not because of <<me>>
but then i READ and FEEL
and believe i am the fortunate one because my demons have never ever damned me
If anything, they have supported and nurtured me!!
O how i wish i could funnel and channel all of this to You and everyone like You and me!
If You come across a way,
let me know and no matter what the cost i will willingly attempt to.
Very feeling spill, Brother
thank You for sharing

I can feel the anxiety in the writing and I appreciate how there is coexistence in seemingly opposite aspects of the questioned reality within the poetry. Is your reality the highest level of Hell or just the lowest rung of Heaven? Neither seem pleasant yet there is peace (and healing) in the acceptance of the reality of Hell. Emotionally & intellectually moved.
