A great write, DeanO. One could not help but reflect on all the alliteration you have used throughout this entire piece. Like:
"dire desperation and tender tendencies."
Wow! Blessings, my friend. Bob

Comment from Pantygynt
This is an interesting review of a horrific situation, in the concentration. Is it bettere to feel the pain an and the horror or the nothingness of total despair. I hope i never have to face such an awful question.
This is real life horror as opposed to the nightmare variety.
"Plaintiff cries for help," I think you mean the adjective "plaintive" here. This is the noun, one who brings a law suit against a "defendant".

Comment from BOO ghost
What a fracking worm hole! worm HOLES DEVIATE TIME. Oh some therapeutic music, how cool is that. Oh, I must know who that group is, not the honeydripers? relaxing, as I float off this floor like a gyroscope. Harried hurricane, that is original. TEARDROPS IN THE OCEAN. That sets BOO'S TRANQUIL MOOD down to the debts of the abyss. in concentration death camps,
filled to overflowing
with the starving,
the tortured;
persecuted...
...and downtrodden-- like that quatrain.
Hum.. the dark abyss seems like it could be a metaphor. It may mean something different for each person, depending on the circumstance.
iT DOES HAVE ME THINKING, DEEPLY.
The sea is deep and thoughts are just as deep, immersed in fear and the unknown which exists in another dimension and time, like the hell experienced in POW camps. It's a pit of hell, itself, if you ever been in one like BOO. tHAT IS ANOTHER STORY. Fantastic!!!! BOO gives his gold nugget stuck in his back pack. BOO!

Comment from Nika2016
For crying out loud..as my grandmother would say...
Yesterday you were in love with flowers and dances on beaches..and today you are back in the abyss? What changed? Passion was there..but it dissipated? Or is this just a poem reflecting your fear of being happy? ...
You feel TOO much...not that you just feel something...(in the abyss)....
We are all afraid of love...that real giving of self where one must let go...Can I trust this person with my heart?
For you...sleep well...,

I just write whatever comes to me that day, Nika.
I never know what that might be.
Being manic depressive, I can be high on a mountaintop one day, and in the Valley of the Shadow of Death the next.
That's just how it works.
Today has been a particular bad day, a day in which I didn't even want to get our of bed.
I did only because I have to, I have responsibilities to deal with.
Thanks very much for reading.

Dean...I hope the video made you laugh and not offended you...It was making fun of me..
ofor trying to help...I think I know how you feel...One day I can be so happy and the change in weather can set off depression..I was not diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but my son has it..Mine is all lack of sunshine...
I truly hope you feel better...I will remove the video if you want....

PS...Your poem last night was so beautiful...be proud...

Thank you, that's very kind of you to say. :)

Oh no, I wasn't offended at all, Nika.
No, I enjoyed the video, it's fine, really.
Thanks so much again.

Comment from lyenochka
Great description of a deep spiritual pain something that is outside the normal realm of physical reality and yet there is a longing to connect in the risky world of human relationships. Artful alliteration and the formatting fits the ethereal nature of the conflicting words of a wounded soul.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
Never give up on love. It seems to miss the mark many times. One day the right person will step into your life and you will know it was worth waiting for.

Once you've given up on love, you've pretty much given up on life as well.
Thanks for reading, Sandra.
