I will only let go of your hand in order to embrace you tightly in my protective arms. I promise. And while we are there please refrain from cleaning any of the dirt. I like it all just as it is. lol.
I am flattered that you have gone back into the archives. That was my very first blog piece. The beginning of the journey. Some of the material here was written before the blog started. “Portrait…..” was one of them. Kinda what I imagine my mind to look like at times. I am ever fascinated by the dark and scary.
I can tell. Always? Wanna share where you think that fascination started??? Or it’s progression. Please include your blood type and mothers maiden name!!!! LOL. Only if u want to share.
I can say that it all started very young. I had nightmares as a child. Very REALISTIC in my head, but very far removed from reality. They terrified me. But I would also sometimes anticipate sleep to see what new dreams would bring. I think I developed an addiction of sorts to the adrenaline produced by fear. I have always read books dealing with the scarier side. Stephen King of course, but H.P. Lovecraft is probably more my style. A bit more cerebral, and just damn creepy. I now am fascinated with anything Ghostly or Paranormal/supernatural. I am kind of a fear dork I guess. Whatever……………lol.
That’s actually very interesting- fear dorkism is a perfectly natural thing! LOL. Did you officially coin that term? I like it- and again, think you could work with that in a poem…. Yeah??? Experienced some wack paranormal stuff in my life – freaky stuff- but I never enjoyed the heightened senses or adrenaline!
LOL. Well I will be here to read/listen should you feel adventurous. Or if you ever need a friend. You know this already though I hope.
Yes. I’m grateful. And you as well. Is this the sentimental conclusion of our comical volley? LOL. It’s been good chatting!
Yes it has. Thank you my friend. Keep Inspiring as always.
You as well!
I like the way your mind works. I can relate to much of your writing from how I perceive it. Obviously it will perhaps mean something different to you. That is the beauty of writing, it does not have to be one way. Many years ago in school I was told I was wrong because I did not see a poem the way the teacher thought the poet wanted me/you to see it.
I guess i can only see with my eyes, hear with my ears and feel with my soul. Your post ‘She’ speaks to me for many reasons. You have a new follower x
Thank you so much Allie. You truly understand what the importance of writing is to me. I completely agree that the beauty of writing is that each reader should be able to take something meaningful to THEM away from it. I strive to use my own voice in my writing but leave enough conceptual freedom for everyone to see what their own mind tells them.
Also, any teacher that doesn’t understand the importance of individual impressions within poetry needs to go back to being a student. It may be important to understand the poets inspiration, but it is NEVER wrong to see it in your own unique way.

I like danger and I am an adrenaline junkie, but I hate haunted houses. So you better not let go of my hand in the really macabre parts of your mind!!

I’m not afraid to get dirty — I just have no desire to be trampled and left bloody! 😉
Not on my watch. And the dirty part I can handle
Uhhhh… That was well,written and enticing and all- but that picture is frickin scary yo! LOL Okay, all better now.

Perhaps that is a story you will tell me someday………
Perhaps. I don’t like to even tell it to me! LOL
