  1. That's the 2cd time that's happened to me while I've been viewing ww's~I hit publish too soon. I'm getting in too much of a hurry trying to get finished so I can get to bed. I think I'm going anyway & just finish up tomorrow.

  2. Lake of Frozen Tears

    To Love No More
    is a dreary trek
    a trudge across
    frozen ice above
    a Lake of Frozen Tears
    shed over Love Lost.

    I see the Pillar of Lost Esteem
    towering;
    a Wall of Broken Hearts
    each telling their story
    in the cacophony;

    an Ocean of Salted Wounds.

    To Love No More
    is to begin
    a journey
    no one wants to take
    or reach that destination
    we all know is Complete Despair.

    Along the way
    I see those who gave up;
    who’ve planted
    anger-plants to mark their passing;
    anger plants growing in
    the Jungle of Bitter Regrets.

    Swaying plants lash out at you
    when you pass
    while below your feet
    there is the small raging mind-set,
    and scattered weeping
    abandoned friends.

    There are hordes of Self-Flagulaters
    and Blamers
    who fly overhead
    dropping stones;

    hordes trekking on and on.

    I am buffeted
    and
    my footing is unstable;
    because cracks below my feet
    reveal
    Mental Instabilities
    reaching up
    as I walk by
    grabbing my legs,
    trying to pull me down
    below
    bottom-less gravity.

    I stall on this journey,
    for it is clear
    to Love Again
    in all its hurts
    cannot be worse
    than this.

    I guess I prefer
    the risk Loving Once More
    and inch
    toward feeling again.
