Stale Secrets
by Nancy Pawley
copyright 08-19-2002


Age Rating: 18 to 127

  Stale Secrets
Picture Credits:

The quiet room is overcast with longings of insanity
Stale familiar secrets rudely waltz right through my mind
I've lost my moving thoughts, madness leaking untrained vanities
My unwashed face is pale, your penetrating gaze is most unkind

I'm past the point of gummybears, starbursts oozing from my brain
I've glimpsed what lies behind the truth, desperado inklings
Just another clinking part, reactionary's bolted chain
Dispassion reigns in haunted eyes, consumed with black hole tinklings

Inject a bit of poison's magic, evil wrapped in cellophane
Dangerous deceptions, dazzling ballgowns dressed in white
Committing crimes of self-delusion, delirium's henbane
Caked with heavy streaks of mud, disappointing blight

No longer graceful, beautiful, the primal voice invades
Eerie midnight writhings, ruined words and phrases set a new refrain
Harsh deceitful lies, no clapping hands of accolade
Abandoned consummation, just another fawning doe named Jane

This reminded me of the movie "Girl Interrupted"...also made me think of how depression feels.....whatever the case may be....this is so powerful and top-notch writing...definitely reaches out and grabs the reader by the throat!

I want to thank all of you for your wonderful comments about this poem..sometimes in life, certain incidents are much too painful to bear..having no understanding of how to deal with the situation, we can easily make wrong choices to alleviate the hurt inside, only making things worse.

This poem is so full of dark images, casting shadowy moods on the reader. In has such an effective abstract hint that leads in so many possible directions. Digging into the darkness thought closet bring out such a vivid wardrobe of words in your special way.

Woah! I want some of what you're smoking! This is a trip, if that is the effect you wanted you did an excellent job!
