UNTOUCHABLE

How often when you stub a toe or

slip on a soon be brown banana skin

or the last of the milk has curdled or -

kith an' kin turn up at the door

unexpected tired wet or more

when you wanted to rest, calmly?!

untouchable 

Of course point each all eight

to the fire side,  nothing denied

welcomes two a dozen muttered

regrets under the breath uttered 

truth know, due to staying alone

OR up away .. going to the moon

untouchable

Wow this write is deep.in many ways, one day two monk's we're arguing the secrets of life and where to hide it because man wasn't ready. In the ocean no said one because man will swim the mountain no man will climb then the moon no man one day will land. After so much debate they decided to place it in his heart because man will never look within.
Thank you for sharing.

Truth can be sad but the way written above, they are words to mull over, think about - poetry.

Thank you.

Yeah Emma this write made me think,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts

I guess they didn't hear your "leave me the F_k alone". But then, in spite of the annoyance, there they are sitting on the sofa, drinking all the beer and wine, making a mess of the chips and dip, and then asking, "What's for supper?" ....er.... wait that's what happened to me. I'm sure you were all nice and lovingly and even under your breath said, "love you, you are family".

Emmajoy, you are a softie and I'll bet you would even plant flowers on the moon if you went there. ;0)

a thought-provoking piece. it took me a minute to decide what 'untouchable' means, but i am willing to guess that it's about the things one dares not to do or say. anger is a social taboo and must not be expressed. this might create social harmony to some extent, but it leaves one feeling drained. this does make one wish to 'go to the moon'.

[emmajoygreen]

Your thoughts are as near truth as can be. Could say, 'keep away, unless invited'. Hence going to the moon is an escape.. if mind if not in practis/ce!

[Andra Davis]

I'm exhausted, I'm tired and I want to be left alone anywhere moon, mars any place. Sentiments echoes.

[emmajoygreen]

Andra, perhaps we should all journey into our dreams - now and again. Why not?! Many thanks for your words and that lovely avatar.

It is hard to dissocialize these days.

Too many knocks on the door...we can't pretend to not be home...
At least on the moon, if we could get there now, we might finally be alone.

Jacob, you understand.. of course. We can't always choose whose company we have, have to contend with negatives , etc - words that hurt, offend - yet sometimes have to accept because life can't always be what we sometimes 'child-like' thinkers must be 'put down' apparently! BUT I for one will do my thing for as long as I can. Methinks you know that and have for a while.. the teacher in you makes far more sense with the positives, sir!

EmmaJoy,
I thought i was the only one distressed when solitude is interrupted... Unless I'm the one! MAKE WAY! COMING THROUGH! WHAT'S TO DRINK?.., BLAH, BLAH, BLAH... My I LOVE visiting! you are always such a lovely hostess/host!
Instead of sailing to the moon on untouchable wisps of light...

People can laugh at the dreamers, , can scoff etc because that's how they travel, overloaded with too much common sense! You and others enjoy touches of glitter, chuckles and more unselfishly sprayed from that faraway place!!! Wisps of light are kind, gentle and all that we beings want them to be.. .. because we can!

Those moon boots do look comfy and might act like mini trampolines, so best tether yourself to something or someone or you might just bounce on to Mars or become a twinkling star all of your own...not that I'm saying you're not already a star. Well, I think you know what I meant but also know how confuddled by bigly worderations!
The trouble with kith and kin is thinking everyone is delighted by surprise visits and sometimes fail to see the value of a heads up or even a warning text.
They'll realise one day when they turn up needing fed and watered and bursting fir the loo and be met with a sign saying "gone to the moon!" Just don't be surprised if they follow you there!
😃

[emmajoygreen]

Laughing because nothing surprises me about my kith and kin! Hate to admit it, we all have a means to an end! And yes.. that sign is ready for that time - sprinkled with star-dust!
