A crucifix
sometimes has a roof and walls
windows with latches
doors with holdfasts
it is a monster
changing forms
like a leech
fangs deep into the skin
it demands and demands
cleaning,chopping,dusting
boiling,grating,cooking
locks,keys,bulbs,soaps
candles and matches
it is hungry
it is angry
sucks hope from the marrows
you dump and dump
exhaustion and hurt
till your heart stinks
ready to burst
the aches and pains
the monster's love bites
all over body and soul
always wanting
more, more,more
I looked for synonyms
to make it sound better
residence, abode, household
A crucifix I carry
I call it home!
The monster could turn into a night full of stars if the dreamer didn't seek the nightmares from the past. The crucifix, even in its narrow form, does it's part in resurrection. It's only extending one's imagination for another leap whether logical or religious.

DeleteHi there, I check your blogs like every week.
ReplyDeleteYour story-telling style is witty, keep doing what you're doing!
Wow! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It's on a entirely different
subject but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Excellent choice of colors!

ReplyDeleteI?m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a
ReplyDeleteblog that?s both educative and entertaining, and without a
doubt, you've hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that too
few people are speaking intelligently about.
I'm very happy I found this during my hunt for something relating
to this.
Keep on working, great job!
ReplyDeleteWow, wonderful blog layout! How long have you been blogging for?
ReplyDeleteyou made blogging look easy. The overall look of your web site is magnificent, let alone the content!
First of all I want to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question in which
ReplyDeleteI'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your
mind prior to writing. I've had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out.
I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first
10 to 15 minutes are lost simply just trying to figure out
how to begin. Any recommendations or hints?
Many thanks!
Good information. Lucky me I discovered your blog by accident (stumbleupon).
ReplyDeleteI have bookmarked it for later!

ReplyDeletegoing to let know her.
