Still absorbing this one. It's reading like an opening scene in a sea based thriller, all slow rhythm and awash with tension.

I just don't want to analyse it. It can sleep in the back of my mind until my fury wakes, as it inevitably will at such a desparate rhyme.

Thanks, KR. I am keeping this one for the future and my fury.

I'm looking for a tall step ladder and a short rope after reading this fine poem. I think you know what I'm talking about; yes, washing the 2nd story windows!

    Thanks, Mikey. But, stay away from ladders and grab a beer. But, the God's sake wait until noon! Have a good one. Bruce.

Why, oh why is despair a female? Just askin'? Are you waiting for your "ship to come in"? Like the image of beveled glass. Spell checker here as it as a single l.
This is one of your dark ones, written on blood red.

    Hey, Granny! I am SURE she is a female. I am a male pig with much experience that tells me this is so! Thanks for the review. Take good care, my friend. Bruce.

I love the poem. You are sunk in the mist of despair. You feel your blood slowing until you should be on a gray slab, six foot under. But the words of your loved one blow gently across your brow. You are awaiting deliverance as you hear her voice calling your name. Great work.

    Thanks, my friend. I was in a real funk as I wrote this poem. When I do these, I am purged for a while. Then, I do it again. Take it easy. Bruce.
