"Red Waters"

 "Red Waters"

                          "Red Waters"

 

"Red Waters left a running and forever not shut off"

As my spirit, watched over body, from the ceilings loft.

I remember these waters very intimately and visited by "many," have it corrailed

though the question left to ponder, is would I be the marter or left telling it's tale

Red waters, red waters, these here skins, you've assaulted and from, familiar eyes,

Red waters, red waters to how many, have you promised, your loured lies.

Red waters, red waters, the place where life, everlastingly, is not wanted,

Red waters, red waters, the more you take, the more it's flaunted

Red waters, red waters, once you start, can you only, control the flow

Red waters, red waters, it goes where it goes but my destiny, longs below.

Red waters, keeps a yearning, a fluttrying heart, left trying, to find my way back home.

Red waters, invasive and running and how "I' feel," ow-so left very much alone.

Red waters feverishly a brewing, penetrating deeply, your coagulated broth

Red waters, left free to run rampet and to wrap it, with "no" cloth

Red waters, now bright red and a turning, playing selfish and avoiding the drain,

Red waters a churning, washing away all sins, of "the soul" and "my," unwanted pain.

Thank you very very brother Richard and was kinda feeling a little under the weather, when i wrote this one...Its amazing how the mind wonders, when it refuses to hit on all cylinders, as designed, thus morbid writes, (such as this), gives the right way, to its birth....

Appreciate you,

Jim

Hey brother JIM!!...........I am reading and re-reading this............I am left with the sadness of a haunted soul..........as though being caught up..........is torturing the soul with unwanted blood on their hands.............I know I may be WAY off in my understanding of the intent here.........but .......it really did move me...........your formatting and flawless rhyme scheme added to the compelling nature of it.........like being caught up in this scenario was surreal and somewhat metaphysical.........and then left your subject  with no way out.............I don't know.........maybe I'm reading way much into this.........but I loved the enigmatic nature of this read..........very cool my friend.............like war had followed you home or something..........anyway..........always a pleasure...............Love and Rockets!!............T xo

(YOUR WORDS)

I am left with the sadness of a haunted soul..........as though being caught up..........is torturing the soul with unwanted blood on their hands.............I know I may be WAY off in my understanding of the intent here...*(On the contrary), you could never have been any righter than you were, in-fact (SPOT-ON) ......but .......it really did move me...........your formatting and flawless rhyme scheme added to the compelling nature of it.........like being caught up in this scenario was surreal and somewhat metaphysical.........and then left your subject with no way out... (NO WAY OUT), was the exact words that seem to have been tormenting me throughout this entire write.............I don't know.........maybe I'm reading way much into this..You got into my head in this presentation Tone, as though you co-wrote it...Thank you for the pristine response and accurate understanding of this poem my friend.. 

Jim

Brother Jimmy, this touched the deepest part of my heart, such sadness and the feeling of betrayal, that life has let down the soul whom always seeked to fly, now bound in chains
Unable to escape the torture, suicide is a very raw place for me right now
This hit home on many levels of consciousness, please take good care dear brother,
I hope you are well, love you dearly, your sis down under nardine xox

Hey (lil) sis,

 

When I read the comments left by yourself and (bro) Tony, it scared the hell out of me, in how (so correct), in all that was conveyed, by you both...Would you believe a fourth of my dreams, always centers around me being able to literally,(like a bird), fly and in the dreams, wings aren't necessary, it was as though, if the mind willed it, the body did follow and the feeling felt so real, that on many of those occasional dreams, I felt compelled, to stay within my dream...Just as Tony. Lil sis, you hit the nail firmly on the head, without any problem at all and this situation, do in fact have me (chained down) and is gonna be a hard one to beat, lost (3) brothers and (1) in remission, to this monster under my bed,(cancer) and their operation/radiation/chemotherapy treatments, sped up their departure, from this world, so you know I have mixed emotions right now and appears to be locked in a world far far away, in my head and feels to be a long ways from home, (at least the home I once knew....)Thank you for being there, when I needed an ear to be heard and a shoulder, for the support you give. If ever there need be any assistance in any crisis, “color me,” forever in your corner….

Love you dearly (Li) Sis,

Jimmy

Honorable Poet Sir Jim Arnold Jim Sir (Brother),

Great write, my applause, my vote

Red waters, now bright red and a turning, playing selfish and avoiding the drain,

Red waters a churning, washing away all sins, of "their souls" and "my," unwanted pain.

Regards & Love
