Closing weary eyelids, my ornamental iron doors
with too many latches
Revolving thoughts like planets in an endless orbit
stealing my nocturnal peace
Breaking the painful silences with cricket songs
and a chorus of spring peepers
My conscience drifts within the smoke from a scented candle
through countless keyholes

I read this over at the other site, but couldn’t figure out how/where to comment (exhaustion is taking over š ). It’s definitely an exceptional piece of writing–stellar, stunning…one of those “wish I’d written it” ones š <3
Thank you sweet Rhen. That truly means a lot to me. Sounds like you need some rest. Have a blessed night sweetie. Love ya Joni
You’re most welcome, Joni <3 <3 <3
Joni, I read it again. It’s a superb work. The metaphors are beautiful and intricate. The atmosphere is stunning. It is really a work to be framed,
“Departed too long, even the musky scent of you I did so cherish
lies buried alongside my innocence where I go to mourn
behind the heavy iron doors”
Absolutely gorgeous.
I hope you are having a great evening sweetheart.
