Premium Member Analysis is paralysis
Ebb and flow of tides, the way eagle glides and how raindrops fall, mind cannot recall. Mind wishes to know, source of our soul’s glow, fragrance of a rose, blooming in repose. Fears that haunt and bait, twists and turns of fate, impacts us no more, as it did before. All that’s manifest, a life test in jest, aiding soul to rise, in childlike surprise. When our eye’s single, pheromones mingle within that...

“Sleep paralysis is like a waking nightmare, except you can’t escape it.” – Unknown Tonight, when the jilted bells toll, my decayed soul sighs, I lay paralyzed beneath an estuary sky of thin fluffy ruffles- cashmere mattress of cotton coated clouds, with stories over time- like a silent slave chained to sinister darkness, within an ice-gold casket of nightmares, as my skin is...

Figurative Paralysis Laid Waste Body Electric of Mine
Figurative paralysis laid waste body electric of mine This is Spinal tap bamboozling, binding, bleeding, bombing... ripped from every dog eared and book marked page recounting latest ill fated fiasco, now peppering my life and hard times causing quite an ache – fiercely teasing (the fire cat) curative panaceas sans almond sunset, chamomile, Osage Tea for the Tillerman. I...

In the avalanche, I lost track of my guiding light. I fled my fireside. I had to evacuate my homestead. Driven far astray by frenetic frozen fright, I was just a cowardly racing rescuing airhead. The wounded wooden face of my brother lugged away by paramedics in a wheelchair. My tomb of sleep was my 3 am druthers. But I called...

Analysis Paralysis
When you look at your reflection in a mirror, what do you see? I see a failure, and that failure is me. I feel like I’m stuck yet I pace up and down. My face is etched with a worrying frown. The problem is I tend to fester and then over-think. At times It’s so bad I feel like I...

Premium Member Analysis Paralysis
By criss-cross catalysis, Pillaged from memory—from pill. Paralysis of analysis: Stuck inside, and outside still. Eyes locked, No sign, Neck straight, head cocked, Eye-socket lined, Long curved spine. Focus inside outer locus, A junk of mental hocus-pocus. Bogus begs the beggar be, Rather than fathomed, Of withered crocus. Lillith spillith an eider-dew; Upon the eider-down. Willith he then simmer, stew, A ‘neath the Summer New? Winter fell, and song-man cryeth, To’ve been...

All Female Staff Naked
The Man they were faithfully under Was wasted by Judgmental Thunder: From photographs ‘A City after Plunder’ Or rather A Bombed Statue not a blunder A watching, finishing Morning Thunder Scarier than Lions that tear asunder Just remembered a hotelier admittedly wicked, All his female staff to often go naked: As early as Six in the morning, Bum shorts that set The Heart...

Sleep Paralysis
It always ends the same drenched in sweat and fear. The pain of death always feels so real and near. Stuck frozen in place, eyes wide. It crawls around my room I'm paralyzed, Eyes dart across the room horrified. It reaches my bed where I lay in a death state Nails dig into my shoulders as it leans in. I feel...

Catechism Paralysis
. for public domain What words to give a little child, that God is everywhere, then let him ponder by himself its meaning, all alone in peace. In terms a child understands - "In my shoes and in my hair, in every breath I draw and give, in everything that lives." "Everything I see and hear, full of endless...

Came home from hosp yest. Surgery seems to have freed some nerve that were caught/inflamed and there has been allowed. Some small movements showing hope of further. Progress. Here, I remain in a constant battle with post-surgery pain, and feeling unworthy of my continuous calls to my husband for his assistance. This...
