Vertical shadows stand behind me
like cyclopean statues,
as reminders,
that we are always watched
by the eye.
Eerie rendezvous of the night
become
an obsessive addiction
of the mundane daylight
and we sigh over dreams,
that we wasted away
so
carelessly.
You and me
are becoming
“iller”.
– Chatty Owl –
Loved this, Ms. Owl! You knocked it out of the park for me with your two opening lines alone 🙂
I love the light that shimmers behind your veil of darkness… 😀
The beauty in writing that “where we live inside ourselves” can be vastly different from the words we pen, I love dark and again you have captured the audience with your words. x
It’s only when we address the cause of the illness itself that we can begin to heal and become well, just treating the symptoms only masks the underlying source of the illness allowing it to continue and grow stronger.
Very thought provoking. Definitely a bit spooky.
This darker tone is tantalizingly dangerous. Loses me in the dark corridors of what could be beautiful! But you still handle that so gorgeously. Your words crafting darkness of the realization of a relationship gone on for to long. Bitterness and sickness never struck me so intently!
Different in tone.
Best wishes!
It is slightly 😉 thanks!
This is hauntingly beautiful, Chatty, and I love your creativity! So glad I found your site! Many hugs for brighter days ahead and a wonderful weekend!

I hope your weekend is already beautiful, Lauren! X
I do hope a brighter light finds your heart and bathes you in the beauty you deserve,
Only a few poetess have touched my heart the way yours do. Do be well my dear owl.
We need to find you a new perch to sing your song from.
Sincerely
Benjamin
