Madness

         

                                                  MADNESS

To dismiss you..dismiss us

Would cause every  bloom to die,

The sun to stop it's radiance

And darkness to remain eternal.

Our hushed whispers 

Ring louder than canyon echos.

They somehow survive, remain and haunt us

Binding two souls forever in the matrix.

Sometimes, what we can't say

Screams louder than what we can.

Victims of our own thoughts

Buried within the walls of our hearts.

We are like co-joined twins

Covered by the same flesh

Bearing the same heart and soul.

Unable to separate, to exist alone. 

Let the world laugh at us and

Think we suffer from delusions of insanity

Bur no life has ever felt as fulfilled

As mine ..In this never ending wonderland.

I love your work, beautifully written.

[Southern Cross]

Thank you so much. I appreciate you visiting

[Blindfolded]

Your strength is always your greatest asset. You teach me more about you every day.

[Michael G.]

When I first came across this, there were five reads and one review. I knew it wouldn't stay that way very long.
Glad you feel fulfilled. That's a good place to be... no matter who sees it.
I thought of the song "Some Trust in Chariots" by Rod McKuen for some reason.
Beautifully defiant, strong, proud write.

Ha Ha thank you but if you look 46 views and only 7 views LOL..Not that I care. I write to clean my soul and if others enjoy , it's a bonus. Thank you for posting and to even be in the same sentence with Rod what an honor. I will look up the song.

[Michael G.]

I looked. That's how long I read and thought about this, before I reviewed. It's a short fun song. From his Greatest Hits - 1970 on Utube.

"Sometimes, what we can't say / Screams louder than what we can."

Loved that, loved that, loved that lol There were many things in this poem that stuck out to me, but that hit me pretty hard. Its very true. Once again, an amazing poem. ^^

[Southern Cross]

I am so humbled by your comments and you always have the knack to chose to quote my favorite lines

[MachinaWriter]

Similar minds with similar hearts. ^^ I feel the same about your comments, I really do ^-^

Wow .. You always write out, the words I am afraid to admit ..
I danced in wonderland .. and I'll never regret one minute

Insanity is a state of mine ...

Gawd, you are so good ... J.J.

[Patrick]

not entirely sure how this one escaped me...it carries a great punch from heart to heart...the last verse is a special one because it throws back into the face of the taunters their laughter.

[Southern Cross]

[Patrick]

[Southern Cross]

[Chris]

A good "view" from the tower.

[Southern Cross]

It is good to be back on again and seeing your review...Been awhile for me..me of great passions feeling so passionless..for too long.

[Chris]

you were hurting... takes time to come back...

[wolffman41]

Again have to say what a way to write what you feel throughout the poem. Have to say you are a very deep woman that has great understanding of love, lost love and what it all intails. have to say say thanks again for sharing these beautiful words....

[Southern Cross]

My soul is always bared to those that understand it. Thank you for the review

~ yes, it's madness... but you've looked deep into the beauty of that madness... traversed its every realm and every cell brilliantly... ~ and the imagery is beyond exquisite... it's spectacular and breathtakingly beautiful... ~ did you know that the term soul-mate (according to mythology) refers to two parts of the same "whole" ? ... i'm not exaggerating when i say this is probably my favourite poem by you so far... ~ sadly, the world shackles us with its expectations of "normalcy" in more ways than we like to admit... ~ sometimes i think freedom is a myth... what is society but a very large cult that expects people to behave like blind followers ? ... ~ when i feel lost, i think about all the great writers and poets who have written about freedom and love... and this post by you belongs to that league of writing that has seen through society's delusions and thus sets the reader free... a very empowering piece of writing, dudette... honest and fantastically so... the sadness that is there is a function of society's shackles not yours... you are free and you glow...

[Southern Cross]

Your reviews always overshadow my poems..LOL You write everything with the intensity of your soul and I adore you for it.

~ oops... :P... that's not true... your poems CANNOT be overshadowed... and ditto... :)
