    Moonlight Psychosis

    That pulsating moonglow within! The lantern of my soul, barely illuminating a strange, dark world.   The supernovas within my eyes ignite the veil of psychosis, torching all the delusions.   Revealing reality, the light within the dark, the obscurity of the twilight.

    • No one in their right or indeed write mind wants to feel down or depressed .. I found this post/poem very much to my liking indeed it was compelling .. Kind regards, Neville

    • When you’ve been there, you know

    • Peter, this touched my heart. Suffering is used to refine and strengthen us, much like a blacksmith uses a furnace to refine precious metals. Stay strong. 🌹🌾🕊️

    • I’ve had my share of dark thoughts. I don’t want to go back to that place. One can only hope the future is better.

    • They were probably drinking or on something and thought they knew you from way back. So they just let you go. Life is strange that way but I am glad nothing other than a scare happened to your wife.

      • Yeah they were drunk. Which I’ve been in shady situations before but I’m very protective of my wife. It just felt different with them circling back. They actually parked right in front of use waiting for use. When I pretended to know them they drove off to fish I think. Not sure if they were just trying to scare us or what, but never know in this world.

        Thanks for the read friend.

    • Powerfully penned, Nick. Sometimes you gotta roll with the punches, while hoping none are thrown, cooler heads can prevail. Quick thinking my friend. Appreciate you.

    • Sometimes idiocy outweighs intention. If someone intent on bullying & causing trouble is suddenly confronted with the unexpected…not anger or fear but friendliness…they usually falter. Probably spent the rest of the day trying to remember where you knew them from. Quick on your feet, my friend. In your shoes, I would have been terrified. I think it’s one of the biggest reasons my partner is leery of PDA…he’s afraid of becoming someone’s irrational abuse target. I wish it wasn’t such a pervasive reality 😕

      • It’s not uncommon to get one or two jerks yelling things out their car, but yeah it was scary with them coming back for us. If it was one or two people but with there being two trucks with at least 8 people all together. I stood no chance even if I had a knife. I think the thing that really scares me is I know my wife wouldn’t run. She wouldn’t leave me. I’m ok with me being hurt but not my wife.

        But thankfully it didn’t turn ugly.

        Thanks for the read friend. Much appreciated.

    • hello dearest Joe this is so beautiful how you envision this lady my face is open and my laughter sweet…I can’t lie it shows on my face so I try to be honest as I can but that can unsettle too…you’re very romantic to be seen as such is so passionate 💕

    • You took us there, I swear. It was like watching a scene breathe before you. Emotion-filled atmosphere & the sound of the surf. Incredibly beautiful

    • What a great read for me this evening. Very beautifully done, lulling in a good way. Like a sailboat easing along the waves.
      So well done. I love it!

    • This is quite breathtaking and intriguing.

      I admire the delicate flow of this poem, it really does take me on a journey.

      A much needed break from reality.

      A vibrant and comforting read. x

      • That’s all I need, to know I helped someone escape the mundane, if but for a few moments.
        Thank you for stopping by. 🌼
