Question: Have you ever descended!?
Descent to Where
I feel myself being drawn to the desert,
once again
Inexorably as if I crave its extremes…
depression
Painless at first this feeling soon starts a fire,
relentless
I look at sun and see moon, love becomes pain,
becoming numb
This horse I ride, it gives no comfort now…just
dumbs my brain
Horizons of sandy seas call me to follow forward,
nothingness
I hear screams, cries, hazy sounds, somewhere deep…
awaking!?
Hallucinating now, searching for the portal there…
Please…open!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

One of those poems that can be read from so many different perspectives, and effectively!.
The final stanza, the need to escape from the hallucinatory hell you yourself have created really rings true with me--regret is hindsight when the scenery sucks!.
Good, vaguely abstract, write, and, from a personal perspective, very timely!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
