Life no more

Standing in the face of life
I seek no more
For love and gore
Is in my light

I wish for sanity
Gone for good
like gum and wood
My soul is vanity

Life no more
My flesh Is stored
In gum and wood
My soul is vanity

Standing in the face of life
I seek no more
For love and gore
Is in my light

Very very very

Ann of Norway I like it too, I can't help thinking that this must be some kind of decided form, but I don't know what! I think the repetitions gives it a fascinating musical rhythm and I enjoyed it a lot, Barbara, Love to you there from Ann.

You are right on it

I was in a downward spiral when I wrote this and didn't think it would make sense since to anyone, but me. It is a new form that evolve while I was writing. I didn't know if I wanted feedback or not since my state of mind at the time was unstable. Glad it came out okay. You are what you create Respectfully Yours, Barbara
