i breathe in Red

i hear her whisper
how old is this tight place
drawn over your heart?
it is as old as Forever, i reply

i feel lightheaded
the air is hot now and heavy
with a moisture that will not fall
still crystalline tears
scratch their way down my face
waves of arid cries that once could die
in my throat
threatening, threatening

my body burns and tingles
it’s energy glowing Red
weaving around my edges
it pounds across my head
and breaks away
i breathe in Red
i push angry fire out
at least that little bit escapes
i hear the rest of it clamoring
waiting enviously to follow


greeneyedlady

i breathe in Red by

is it me
or is it hot in here?

    So very expressive. I wanted to scream – Let Go!. But easier said then done. I know the place.

    i’ve had these feeling before
    i’ve always kept mine in to heat my mind
    lately i’ve learned to let some of the steam escape just alittle
    for the time being satisfies yet i’m feeling little by little more will escape
    and i don’t know what that will bring
    peace love and light always

  • LOL, but, these days for me, anyway, there is so much “steam” wanting out that i think these feelings are going to be around for a while!! thanks so much for reading :)
