Echoes

While wandering through the corridors

Of my minds museum

I never thought that I would find her there

On display

Along side the blurry paintings for

All to see them

Intoxication now has had its way

The sad silence is broken

By my calls

Her name now echoes through

My memories halls

Wandering misunderstood

Defiled and defamed

Alone again…….

But we are both to blame

If given a chance

I might paint again

This time with God

As my closest friend

I agree with your notes, and your poem! now i realize what you mean by your comment on my poem "The Goblet" :)

don't worry, i don't, won't do alcohol and drugs... i don't even smoke. :)

yes to God, not to drugs.
I've seen so many people ruined by these elements.

nice insight,

Sounds like the right plan to me~ God will always lead you on the right path~

and you're so right ~Drugs destroy and ruin lives ~ very well expressed and well written

Drugs and alcohol misconstrue her face, her soul. She probably hurts more than anyone can fathom. Your words here touch me because though this poem is not about me, I am where she is. So sad that an artist can't pull her off the painting, paint her as he will (as he sees fit) and all is well again. This is not the artists' job, just a fantasy. To go back into relapse, I now know, more painful and hard to beat than the times before. This poem is well worded, you always get into my head with every word that you share with the world. Thanks for sharing this!!!!!!

Using them to escape your problems only make it about ten times worse.
You can't escape your mind.
And I'm sure that you know.
This is such a painful thing.
You forget and then it all slaps you back in the face.

Indeed, drugs and alcohol do. I've seen it too many times to argue otherwise.

This image of your mind compartmentalizing everything, including the subject, into a museum is stunning. It feels lonely, like a museum does.

Beautiful job.
