Such a crowded room my minds/'/ become,
alone, yet filled with everyone.
These chains of air, were they steel
would afford me greater hope
than my hands and feet tethered
with the silliness of rope-
I should be so unconcerned.
When tendrils of actions and mossy memories
clamber and struggle to choke out the now,
my arm can/'/t heft the machete required
to strike the heart and plough them back.
The old house on the lonely road
given over to nature/'/s indifference-
this is the state I find myself,
windows gaping glassless,
wood soft to a thousand rains
and shady creepy ivy that inch by inch
makes gains. [comments] => 6 [counter] => 313 [topic] => 32 [informant] => Invierno [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

The imagery is amazing..where to start? "tendrils of actions" "mossy memories" "nature's' indifference" "wood soft to a thousand rains"…
the crowded room of your mind is a garden jungle of wonderful colors and textures! Thank you for taking us on your journey..without ever moving, I have experienced hours of thoughts by your invitation!

Wow Mike, you are tapping into some greatness lately. Such powerful opening lines- those first two. Your use of imagery to provoke your words is hard to miss. Stunning. I will be back to re-read, as this deserves much attention.

Excellent job.

i find this tangibly charming, and all the plant life around you!
every line is perfection one not over-shadowing the other but
enhancing the whole, so beautiful,

hugs n' love nessa
