Eccentricities

Inspired by a conversation with Emmajoy.

I buried my head ~ tired and torn

in between the eccentricities

of night and day,

oblivious to your voice; sugar coated,

the many layers of lust 

peeling off.

Beneath the calm, a storm is raging; 

fiery at the hypocrisy,

and each human being appears transparent,

 and I buried my head ~ tired and torn

in between the eccentricities

of night and day.

Tis those who have been insulted need be ' fiery at the hypocrisy,' especially when it comes from those lurking in groups in cyber world.

Some of us turn the other cheek to snide and arrogant behaviour and/or venomous words because we were reared to behave with a little or more dignity. It's so easy to behave badly - after all, that nastiness is a ready servant to the ignorant. However, there's a time to stand up and be counted. Your words - so finely laid, makes me even more determined to stand firm. Gangs are for the weak.
Thank you for your wise yet sad words, i know there'll be others to come.

I'm glad my words here give you strength. Thank you so much for your insight here, Emma, and for the inspiration. And yes, we stand firm against the cyber clowns...!
Hugs 💜

There are plenty of veils here. There are plenty of weird people too. I'm discovering that more and more these days.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Aye, so there are. But I think it's handy when you know you're holding some of the strings ;)
We gotta be here and face the clowns lol thank you for your words here, Tim. Appreciated :)

"...fiery at the hypocrisy,"

Most of y'all know that anger is my go-to feely...sooooo, I say hold on to that line, hold your head up, hold "their" gaze long enough to make sure they know...that you know, and refuse to acknowledge it. **ahem, okay, my rant for this morning....**

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hell yeah! Great words, thank you Carol. Appreciate your insightful rant here which so matches my own thoughts ;) :)

I am so sorry you’ve been going through all of this bullying my friend. It is not ethical, not humane, immature, abhorrent. Your poetic response shows your fine soul and intellect and great talent. Lovely language, form, flow, cadence, as always. Please do not bury your head, we need to see that lovely face...Brava!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Ah, it's not been the first time that this happened with me here but I remain strong mainly 'cause of the great friends I have here like you :)
Thank you so much for your encouraging words and for appreciating this little piece, Annette. Truly appreciated 😊💜

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Stay strong & always hold your head high! :)

What do we gain by closing our eyes and wishing it all away? Do our submissive panderings actually have affect... Or are we left wasting ourselves... The lustful layering of voice, a tired storm rages... Transparent beings are not humans...

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Yet some humans go beyond their ways and when the veil is lifted they almost seem transparent...

When the sun burns the skin it goes from golden healthy glow to scabby and dry and sick - like some relationships.
I like the way this is tied up like a parcel of thoughts/feelings/words ready to be put away.
Love the formatting and font choice too - gives a wistful dimension to it my friend.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I actually spent more time on the formatting/structure than on writing lol still slightly dissatisfied by it. Kinda taken a sudden liking to grey colour too, most of my recent pieces you'll read will be in that ;) maybe depicts kinda the mood I am in lately...

I like how you interpreted this piece. Thank you for your words here, TJ. Always appreciated 😊

[Tony Jordan]

My computer is old - black and white - doesn't do grey...

welcome Yumna as always :))

[jacob erin-cilberto]

hypocrisy runs rampant...and we just don't know who or what to believe.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

In cases like those, I trust my intuition - it's never wrong... Thank you for your words here, Jacob. Appreciated.
