Awesome composition,as always (tips bowler hat in a gent like fashion) I felt like I was climbing down a rope to the freezing waters below.

I love the last line, we are indeed deceiving ourselves or others with art a lot of the time, art is expression, but how often do you see humans express the truth? :) nice one!

Keep up the good words "mad head"!

Ay-lyuli, lyuli, ay-lyuli, lyuli,
Polyubi zhe ty menya!
Kalinka, kalinka, kalinka moya!
V sadu yagoda malinka, malinka moya!

Bit of Russian folk music to keep you going through the winter nights

Just breathtaking. Coupled beautifully with the piece of music. I also loved the style in which this work was writen. "You were my favorite drama" Absolute perfection. :)

[Vria P Crow]

Thanks hon! :)

[Ruth]

My pleasure!

I think we all feel this way at times, hardly the deceiver in this potent work, you have painted the picture as is, and that takes truth and guts, everything I love in poetry. Love the format too, it adds to the impact of your words....kudos!

[Vria P Crow]

Thank you, sweetie! :) I have just felt a bit sad that our imagination remains so stationary.

Was my pleasure, I'll be stopping by again, I think you've got it alright, perhaps we need more writing from a place such as this....

[Jack...]

This is so very cool. I love the format and the feel of this quickly moving piece. Questions of who we are often come like the rain, sometimes as a soft drizzle of concern and other times a massive downpour of doubt. Nicely done

[Vria P Crow]

Thank you for your insight, Jack! I would like to think it came as "a massive downpour of doubt."

[Jack...]

Well my friend, there is however, no doubt you are an amazing poet.

[Vria P Crow]

You flatter me. Thank you, dear. :)
