Nights, by this old moldy

          In this wet cement, we desire,

 

With a strong need for peace, we yearn,

           We lived for centuries, but there is no place,

 

No real place for us,

         Starving souls, tormented by

Severe penalties, searching for sleep,

 

Sing us your lullaby, for we do not

             Or soon never will be asleep again;

 

    Tired of hanging in here,

We are in need for our rest,

 

         We suffer from our chest,

    We can't breathe, the fact

We hang in the world of between,

 

And some of “you” who noticed, so keen...

           We'll help, all unseen.

Eli, this piece haunts me...

I felt your words walking into a purgatory realm...
Somewhere between sleep and death lies "tormented starving souls"..

If you can see what I see in my mind's eye
(and I know you can, because you write vividly),
you would get chills too!

Do I make sense??
It's late... and reading this has my mind reeling! OMG! lol

Entrancing write, Sis!~xoxo~

You and me, know the "Reikon" never rests, when it has been tortured... ;) no words needed for that, this is a write, that I think, could kept you away, but I didn't hasitate to write it still down, for I sometimes, need to spit out my feelings, and they can be dark and vividly as this one. I'm so happy with your keen insight Sis, your words mean the world to me, and I hope it didn't disturbed your "happiness" right now, but it had to be posted lol.... it's when my quill atches.... love you xoxoxox :)

This is an incredible photo and incredible piece of music as well, going with a poem of deep brilliance...I love the lines "Starving souls, tormented by severe penalties, search for sleep!" I like the unexpected implication these are helpful ghosts. I am fading fast just now though, unfortunately, so I am sorry to say I must sleep before I review this in more detail, but I definitely desire to think more about it more deeply when I return!

Thank you dear, even if you're tired, you are connected. I greatly appreciate this review, even in shorter ways, you just can brilliantly summarize, what I saw, and felt, what my intention was to write out this dream, vision. I can't wait to be back for yours.

[Robert Tusitala O'Neill]

Aw, thank you!! I was trying to say more to capture the things I felt most positively summed it all up. The mold, the wet cement -these are oddly powerful and eerie in your hands, and it is hard to even place why! I, again, must comment on how excellently original it is to say these are helping beings...though tormented and unable to sleep! I love that way of looking at them!

[Michelle N. H.]

Caught in between worlds, not able to let go of past torment and thereby find peace. It's such a sad happening. Through the atmosphere, you capture that common fear of the unknown so intensely, as well as a sense of curiosity and compassion for the lost ones. Amazing.

Thank you so much sweetie. You dig deep, and I know and feel you feel as me. :) You do always, and this is no exception. I am really happy with you as a reviewer. xx

[Michelle N. H.]

Your writing captures attention, it is full of meaning and inspires me. Thank you, Eli :) x

Thank you so so much. You are a great writer yourself, with so much feeling always. You inspire me too Michelle. xxx

A dark gloomy place . perhaps forgotten place. You switch your muse from love to suspense and satire if i'm right. I really agree with Ms Lydia. You are very versatile. Honestly ...Ms Elisa you have influence me a lot by simply reading and spending some time with your piece. For you write such splendid romantic poems in free verse. Your still Ms " Natural " of WC site ...and I mean that...I learned so much from you. I thought at first glance that it was impossible to write in free verse. But you made it look so easy.

Thank you so much sweetie, your opinion, and words are important to me, they really are. I just love to write about everything, (mostly it's just fantasy) and dark fantasy, mixed with reality. :) I can't thank you enough Neil. I hope you have a lovely weekend my friend.

[NeiL ArandA]

Likewise ...I'll see sometime..when i get some chance I'll drop by again. Your friend

You please take your time always, I'm slow myself, I'm often online here, on my mobile, but then I'm not here... it seems I am, but I ain't lol, but I will review you and the others soon... we have our own time, it's great. Thank you my friend... for all... always.

[Lydia Shutter]

Not being able to sleep and living life every day only because you push yourself is very difficult. It is an excruciating form of torture not to be able to get a restful night’s sleep. All the anguish of life looms large and every pain seems ten times worse during the sleepless night. "Hanging in there" is no way to live. Such an emotive piece. Beautifully written, Elisa. Ik hoop dat uw nachten zijn gevuld met zoete dromen van nu af aan. Knuffels, Lydi**

Thank you Lydi for your beautiful words, and heartfelt effort here. You always make me happy! :) Heel veel liefs, van mij! xx

[Gedalya]

I just went through many twist and turns in my mental labyrinth.

I hope that's a good sign ;) thank you for the read...

[Carl Drake Barnard]

Love the way you wrote this Eli!! Hehe had to some research on the heading,found it to intriguing to leave hehe. Wow Eli what a strong piece I could feel your emotions in this!! I believe or well think this has some deeper meaning,linked to your own soul. I wish you the best of luck :) Well written piece Eli :) Really it is :)

Thank you dearly Carl.... :D for your beautiful words my sweet friend.

[KurKota]

My friend ! In your writing, which is of course more than just "writing", there is no need for a place called "review".....there is no need for that, but rather a place called "Compliments of Amazement" !!!
That all needs to be said about your works. Amazing, again !

Thank you so much my sweet friend. Your words make my day :) always so good to see you by!!! and happy to have you around. :)

[A. Amos]

Elisa you are true versatile you can write any topic and always leave your readers starving for more and excited what next you will write.

[A. Amos]

I think you bedazzle me, with "your" special spell here... he he. You and me are alike in many ways.

[A. Amos]

if you think so then i guess we are like two lost souls gathered after many centuries:)

Who knows? we are all connected after all... but not "all" are aware of this.... glad you are!!!!

[A. Amos]

:D smiling here.... all with me goes deep... people must get sometimes used to it, glad you feel home friend.

[A. Amos]
