Blind Reality (An Audio Poem)
as the dust gathers
in your eyes, you
flick it with the tip
of your finger,
pressing its grittiness onto
the bridge of your nose.
blinded by daybreak
a cause for concern
in the dank, deserted, and
dreaded domain of a
commoner’s heart, you
swim effortlessly,
milking the need.
once lost, now found–
a deluge of pain seeps in
reminding us that reality
is a dream and waits
patiently for its turn to
make an appearance.
and like magic
we abracadabra the honey-scented
calmness of a blazing breeze
drifting
drifting
drifting
like lost lovers do.
A Cornered Gurl 
always such a joy to hear that lovely voice of yours my friend, beautiful as always ā¤

Thank you, Kim. You were spammed. I guess WordPress had forgotten about you a little bit. I didn’t, though. *big hugs*

I listened to you read it, then read it myself. Yes I agree that your imagery is superb. You evoke the emotion, it is at once extraordinary and common, because we have all felt it, but you were able to put it to words. Thank you trE for the beautiful read.
