are there really bars on the windows

are there really bars on the windows

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


are there really bars on the windows

 

 

 

dried moons,

psychopathic lips

kiss crazy

 

arms bound in strait jacket embrace

lovely white room midnight with you

 

and no prescription can repel

the frantic need

as love's addiction

draws me into your veins

 

i want us to break out together

run for our lives

with shattering steps toward oblivion

where no one can see us

 

we will hide in the shadows of insanity

knowing full well,

we are only crazy for each other

 

and the

ups and downs we only think we imagine

are real.

Decadently romantic....to be crazy in love and to only want to be alone with that person....ah, yes. Love can be a form of insanity and certainly is addicting, but we willingly become addicts over and over again. Lydi**

Crazy, crazy loving. Another great title. Titles are important. I am left thinking, how many of us actually experience that off the planet type of loving. And if we do, it doesn't stay that way. It would be too exhausting.

This is a fine example of the crazy intoxicating longing we all want to experience.... only from the outside of the asylum, looking in.... Having worked in many psychiatric institutions over a period of many years.. I can say without any fear of contradiction... there can be love on those wards and true........

Oh to be able to escape into lovers land with the one true love that fills your every need that soft gentle love of wanting and knowing is only yours to be shared as one- love the words- straightjacket- prescription- oh the depths of love when returned and wanting to be where it is facing the heart and not afraid- wonderful🌹
