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

  1. 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!

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

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

  22. 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?
