border lines




i wanted
to get away from

writing about
dreams - and mustard yellow
bricks          

    i
wanted - want

to get back--- to lines
to grey matters - to thought
bound

with
border; associated
meanings; channels of straight passage
the wants 
tell much about human soul

lines appear as truthful, clean - contained
there in lies deceit (contagion color)
it pains

this tongue - torments
this inner eye - like a curved body, like a barbed wire
twisted tight around my mind - calm me
sooth my heart
with

slate - Do NOT EVER..make my
rose

red....

  1. nice...back to the basics, the real, to what matters..think it changes over the time...the writing style, what we write about, what we think what matters...love me some black roses as long as i still can smell them..

  2. smiles...i like the dance around reality here...the desire for it but also never making your rose red at the end...nice use of color through out as well...

    I am glad I dont live in a place with mustard yellow bricks, that image is unpleasant!
