In the dark
His mind is pulsing:
Sweat like rain
Crawls on the rooftop;
Falling from
The twisted eyebrow:
Calling out
For relief again.
Twisted in
The long-past mem'ry
Wrenching from
The vaulted station-
Where he kept
His deepest poison.
Lying as
The world slips by him,
Over 'round
His twisted faces.
As he weeps
For the secret thought.

Dear Karen,
Indeed, this did come at a very sad point in my life. Rereading it, I suppose I was quite put out. Not that all that much has changed, mind you. I simply have not been able to express it appropriately. Have a very pleasant day, and thank you for the comment.
Warmly,

I had to read it twice, Seagrid,but I rather like it....sad, somehow ominous...very lonely.

I like this piece. The short phrasing is different from most things I've read on here. I don't know why, but it grabs me somehow and I am happy to give it my first applause of the day.

Hello Beth,
Thank you for your warmth and kindness, as always. For the most part these thoughts of which I write are thoughts that I do not know if I would care to share with anyone else. And even were I to, I highly doubt that I would have the words. At this time, I think I shall remain content to keep my thoughts to myself. Although, as always, I appreciate your interest in my person.
Warmly,

I always have to read your poems twice. I'll be right back.
As always, I'm excited to be.. hearing.. from you. I really like what you've written here. I love the short lines, simple thoughts that can mean so much. (In that respect, this reminds me of a piece I read earlier, by KristaChick. You may want to check out her works.)
It's hard to keep secrets, or even hidden thoughts. Seems as though it usually ends up hard on the soul. I hope that you have someone with whom you can share those inner workings, so they don't eat you up.
You're too good of a person for that.
Again, as always, great write. I'd love to learn a bit more about it.
Beth
