Poem -
Pickled
So tired of livin'
So tired of givin'
Of fightin' angels and demons,
Of common sense and reasons.
Takin' a toll
Lost heart and soul.
No turnin' back now,
To tell the truth, don't know how.
Searchin' the dark,
For just a spark.
One speck of hope,
To outwit the hangman's rope.
But alas this poor heart keeps beatin'
No chance at retreatin'
A coward's way out,
Suicide leaves little doubt.
Can't seem to win either way.
Pickled in a jar ready to fillet.
On display for all to see,
Love, took a part of me.
Can't possibly die,
Itβs the Formaldehyde.
Keeps it fresh toxic green.
Pinned to a sleeve easily seen.
Though the body departs,
Love preserved in a jar of hearts

Are you reading my thoughts......do you have a picture of my heart and Soul.....my feelings of old and despair ......no hope left....looking for another life......OK ....enough....let it end with a giggle......all smiles.....enjoyed the read
And I thought your LAST one was grim!!
Is it that the deeper we dig down within ourselves; or as you put it..."Searchin' the dark, Just for a spark"...in your inimitable way: the richer, more potent and darker the creative jewels we find?!
Whatever it is, it's paying off significant poeticΒ dividends for you of late.
It's good to get this stuff out in the open; it's even better to do it in the form of art...and WHAT art!!!
I'd say keep it up...but I don't want you to riskΒ your very sanity just to entertain your Cosmo fans!! But if you're going to do it anyway...keep it coming!!!
