Pandemonium


Me, also going through
my own Silent Thunder.  
My head bombarded so.... 
My world turned upside down
as problems accumulate
with current events.

Wild thunder crashing,
white lightning strikes.
Thunder rolls back
again and again.

My walls from all sides
close in on me,
suffocating me
my space diminishing.

My silent screams unheard
as I try to break out
of these transparent walls.
I see everyone, they
do not see or hear me.
So invisible am I
as always.

I take a deep breath. 
Stand outside of this
transparent box that
incarcerates me.

I make list
I prioritize.
I have to be logical.
Pull myself together again.
But everyday gets in the way.

I just want to switch off.
If only my mind would
shut down.
I turn out the light;.........

I go to my secret grotto,
so do I descend, slinking
slowly into the warm green
and black waters deep

Light diminishing.
Calm, so soothing
like a lover’s embrace.
I feel the sensual ness
of the waters
caress my skin.
Like a lover lips.

So tenderly as they
explore every curve
of my naked flesh
even the most
secret places of
pleasure from
head to toe.

Waves as sweet caresses
creep up unexpectedly
catching me unaware.

They brush against
all my lips so tenderly,
full of passion ,the
taste of a sweet promise,
pure magic

I drift into the world
beyond my dreams,
of the secret realms
of inner and outer space.

Where moonlight drops stars
into the blue waters deep,
they shimmer and shine
like diamonds.

So alluring
the gentle light
of each star,
full of miracles
each waiting to
fulfill the gentle heart
it has been bequeathed.

I let the turmoil’s
of the day fall free
from me like
rain drops tenderly
cascading down
one by one
releasing the aches
and pains.

Freeing me today of
any decision making.
One by one I see each
translucent drop of
water a rainbow wish
as they go slip sliding
down over the curves
of my naked flesh on
a journey unforetold

until they fall back into
my grotto to refresh to
refill the oceans that
come and come again
without warning
without control.

I feel enlightened as
my head is released
from the turmoil now
gently drifts away.

Colors some soft and gentle
some filled with fire and ice
What a roller coaster ride full
of emotions fire, passion

Will it ever to be known to
me again to travel the
cosmos unknown
out there that
still awaits us.

EB Just to say that I did centralise this poem but cannot change it anymore as it is still different from the preview. I hope is does not spoil the way that you read this poem Electric Blue

D D Julie Thank you for your comment typo corrected. I tried to centralise again but as Moonman said it wrapped itself around my picture throwing out the alignment. So I have just left aligned it for now I hope it does not spoil the effect. As I do believe the centralised version had more impact. I just try to put my heart and passion on paper as this is the only place it can be. I wish it could be otherwise. But this is how I feel today. always Electric Blue

Hi Maggie...

Did you add the "r" on purpose? I have a friend that says it just like that every time... sort of his signature for the word. I liked your passionate piece... it is good you have your grotto to escape to. Center alignment doesn't work because it doesn't take into account for your profile picture until placed onto the page, and then it aligns itself around it... they always end up looking strange, it is best to left-align everything here for visual effects. good to see you writing my blue-haired friend... Richard

Richard Typo corrected. Re the central alignment I thought had more impact it looked great on the word page but when moving it over I did not allow for my picture so of course it wrapped around it and changed the whole composition. So I have had to left ajust it. I hope it does not loose the original impact I sought? I did wonder whether to post this or not but it is a moment for me to try and describe my feelings and the loneliness Well all I have is pen and paper to put my heart onto as I sit here alone. of course I do not want to be alone but that is how it is for now. Always my dear friend Electric Blue

Maggie,

powerful and emotional, as always, my friend. (And definitely causing a rise in temperature ;) A few little spots of bother: "currant", did you mean "current"? "Where moonlight drop stars", "moonlight drops stars"? "turmoil’s" would be grammatically better without the apostrophe and "Will it ever to be known to" as "Will it ever be known to". As always, just suggesting, Yours, ~Nina

Nina Thank you for your comments typo corrected. I just put my heart and feelings onto paper and this is just me. I do have feelings too but this seems to be lost to others. Had a lot on my plate recently but now all subsiding so i can release myself of all that now. Powerful and emotional. WoW Never thought of it that way. But when you are inside of it all you do not always see what others see. Hope you are feeling better now. always Electric Blue

Orgami I just put my heart on paper and let my head be cleared of the turmoil I have been through lately. I just had to let go and just feel. I just went into slow motion capturing every single droplet and the journey it took and how it made me feel. So just Trying to get in touch with myself, to reach my soul I too have feelings but only i am there to see. So alone am I wishing to share. But no takers be. My heart turned upside down. Yes I have a longing for love, passion but seems it will never be so memories are all I have, just to be. I have all this to share............. Thank you my friend I still wish I could write wonders like you.... Electric Blue

Orgami As you I do not know where my words come from but I do believe it is from my heart and soul that has such a longing for love to be loved where as now loneliness resides. Haunted by love a special love. A once in a lifetime love. There is no other for me. My heart is true. WoW I see the glacial scene with the ice carpet winding down the rugged mountains so pure clean sparkling untouch my man just nature at it best. Thank you for giving me such a beautiful start to my day. I would love to walk this glacial scene to be the only one just me drinking in the wonders before me. I walk often in lonely places such as the moors or by the ocean in all weathers mainly when it is dull wet windy day. To feel the elements in full force. to try and feel alive. But also on a beautiful warm sunny day to receive if my heart will allow. There is so much beauty on this earth the flowers the trees earth air fire and water all free. I do feel apart of these maybe I am the missing element to compliment these? But I can and often walk in crowded places but I am totally invisible to all around as if I am in a different time zone. It just hurts so much to see others walking talking laughing with lovers and friends but I am alone as always. I get to know this for a short while then whisped away until one day again I can share this special time again. If only it would last for ever. Like you hard to sleep my mind will not shut off. My heart and soul my blood the ink of my pen words free fall tumblng onto the paper that waits and the first mark is made. I just put my heart and soul on paper I see the beauty the love but also the total abandonment of love by others Electric Blue

This is a wonderful poem

Maggie, water is indeed both sensual and calming at the same time and we all want to bathe in the liquid essence love as much as we want to bask in its sultry heat. Perhaps you are a mermaid lol. Keith

Dear Blue

Pandemonium. I loved this one. especially the lines: I drift into the world Beyond my dreams, Of the secret realms Of inner and oouter space. Where moonlight drops stars Into the blue waters deep, They shimmer and shine like diamonds. Beautiful words. Don't change a word, it's perfect as it is. Love Dalton.
