once again it happens ... big tent poetry # 5


It rose and I to reach

the dead love I once longed for

As I snuck behind the psychedelic curtains

swinging in the breeze

To enter into a strange and different time

and space

The forbidden chamber of temptation

In the years to come I will be accused of many

indiscretions

but as it rises I am lured once again

    Ahhh....we both let temptation take us places! I like this Pamela. It has an air of mystery surrounding it, where the reader has to fill in... Very well done!

    Real poetry, this. Exciting, specially the psychedelic curtains.

    You've captured a mood here that we've all felt, but perhaps won't admit to.

    Pamela, I've always wondered what was beyond those psychedelic curtains.

    This has such an eerie feeling, and a sense of being powerless to stop your demons. Very good...

    So mysterious, Pamela. Those curtains. Curious, I want to slip behind them just to experience what it is that lures you. Is the moon itself more than I've thought it to be?
