Sometimes it sure feels this way.

The constant drip drip drip of a mundane existance gives rise to desires for something powerful to possess us, a deep poem Fee.

am I man of flesh and bone
or dwindling shadow cast…

Indeed Fee, this is a very good question you raise in your chosen words. This poem really makes the reader think about our own mortality and what our purpose really is. Profound and surreal Fee, thank you for sharing.

May the Lord Bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and walk by your side. With love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your den sister Barbie

It's amazing how we view things at times...

I like the mysterious feel about this poem, Fee. Some serious contemplations, maybe. Hugs,
Sheila

A most compelling and dark write, Fee...well put!

Ever since I've lost all the weight I once had, I have become one of those dwindling shadows, too...e

Wow fee what a fantastic write
Very dark when we are vulnerable
We take the hand that reaches out to us!
Excellent write!
Wishing you Peace Love and Light...Yolie

Your words are so finely crafted, Fee, that I feel myself inside this darkness. Intense, even in its brevity. Fine write! ~Elizabeth

When we are vulnerable we take a chance at getting hurt. We have all been raped of the willing mind at some time in our lives and it sucks! Love, hope, faith and trust were taken away from you so you should be affected by the loss. Hopefully, it has passed and you realized you are a man of flesh and bone and never a dwindling shadow cast. Love, and peace always my friend. ~Chessly

Sometimes, stepping inside that lighted room will hurt us more...

So much turmoil in this deeply emotional piece, Fee! Wow! Very well done....hope the storm has passed....

Hugs,

Wow Felix, I don't know where this came from but I am glad it did as so many can relate to these words. This shows how so many feel when they have aloud their minds to be robbed, raped or stolen in some way.

Love ya face Cuz XOXOXOX, Rose

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

Powerfully sad, as is the graphic.

Very powerful piece, Felix

Your feeling is powerfully expressed in this one. I think we all have this feeling too at one time or another. This speaks to me as well. Well done, Fee!!

Sandie Angel :o)

i love this-there is a depth of feeling that I really like

Powerfully deep and dark write...I saw reflections of myself, somewhere in the shadows.

Cheers,
Dan

Perhaps regret? I like the idea of rape of the willing mind, not the title, but the actual words to the actual deed...the desire to be taken by some force, whether this is a vision or something that sticks in your mind from years ago, it's a powerful evocator, powerful enough that it's driven you to write about her...be well, Fee...

Love,
Sage
