~ Venomous Visitor ~
It slithered into my fractured thoughts
Silently, slowly, polluting my environ
Began strangling all affection in me
Left me poisoned and confused
My hands shaking
As venom coursedΒ its way
Into my mind's intent
Tearing my faith apart
Clutching at the rhythms of my heart
Leaving me alone and icy
While all the time
I found myself unable
To send or swat it away
For it was truly
My first real friend
It created a funeral pyre
From my previous life
Slowing down time
And leaving me with nothing
But time to ponder
To unveil the false facade
Presented to me as religious fervor
This venomous visitor
Had brought me friendship's fruit
The proof that living fast
Taking action unthinkingly
Allows for no time to see the fact
That pure truth lay inside us all
And only in sharing our love of all
Freely....openly,
Can we reveal the light
That glows in all things,
A kind of godliness,
Shining,
From within,
Even when
It approaches us,
As,
A venomous,
Visitor....

Jesus Tony...you will never know how much these words mirror my own Indescribable 'lostness' and confusion of soul these last few years. This is not idle flattery, even with the first lines I felt you had described perfectly 'for me' the most Indescribable blackness that certain life events can tip us into.
Personally, I have not yet moved passed the line
'The venomous visitor'
...as in I have not yet found my peace with a life death universe I find to be a trickster on all matters.
Wish I had your talent my friend, I really do. Pinned...deserves a 100 in my mind x

You are most welcome
Cor Blimey or Blimey is an old English saying .. Itβs origins are from the phrase βGod blind meβ β and in the 19th century this was shortened to Blimey!
For example CorΒ Blimey, look at the size of that sausage! or rocket, or whatever :)
