Egregious
29 July 2016
Night-bred haunt
Lurking in passage
To nowhere
The ship sails
Passengers in vests no tails
Shortened evenings
The bell rings
Reminder of call
To children
Huddled small
Inside my bosom’s stairs flight
Beseeching the light
Pass through me
I am needle’s eye
Pulsating
With keen sight
All without now stark blindness
Only morrows’ fight
Villainy
An art of living
The words dark
The craft deaf
Resonance but lonely theft
Forming the letters
Breath fetters
When guided by voice
Sunken deep
Into heap
Of sporadic movements sly
Catcher of the rye
Taste heavy
Laden with the guilt
Egregious
Waverings
To hate people but love things
Dissolute matter
Reading of the poem:
Yonderhead – Thomas Feiner
All that Numbs You – Thomas Feiner
Dinah and the Beautiful Blue – Thomas Feiner and Anywhen
The emergence of true feelings can be shocking

It is truly as is fear and both are related. I have had exchanges both in real life and online with people who thrive only with what they get out of life in terms of material things and they are incapable of extending that awe and happiness to what they get out of their interactions with people. We are complex beings so summarising things is not a good thing but I have known a lot of women for example who are happy to marry a man simply for what he owns without regard to the emotional fulfillment he could bring them. Likewise for some men in other cultures than in the Middle East. In the end, such unions end up with the person hating the other and slowly hating every person around them but still loving the comfort of a plush home or a Chanel or Louis Vuitton bag, etc. It is sad but very real and I have seen really so many people in this case.

I am in awe as i read such a deep reflection and insights from..thank you for sharing it with me..i am hoping still though that women will be able to find their worth rather than just being marrried to a a particular man….women are powerful and independent human beings which if given the chance they are bound to reach full potentials thus becoming worthy of emulatio ..

Well it is all up to women themselves to give themselves that chance. We are to a large extent our choices. Even when things happen to us and we think we did not have a choice and are victims of external events, we still have a choice, if only in how to react about what happened.
