Velvet Vice & Voices

Dust gathers
insipid dreams
we return to atoms
what is in it after all
death or life
wounded memories
splayed broken

we write because
unburdening happens
wonder what social media
does to the facade we build
cosmetic bridges
imaginary castles
impregnable fortresses

capillaries to the heart
blocked channels
voices of velvet sounds
cascading in the night
of doubt.The dust settles
after the storm

I loved the alteration in this, and the imagery here is also particularly strong. Very strong work!

Very evocative imagery.

NOTES: "does to the [façade] we build"

[Lyn Anderson]

Beautiful images and wonderful word usage. Every time I come to your page I enjoy your writing. We write to unburden ourselves to the world and use the social media to fill the empty spaces.
