Description
Dark whispers of blood-soaked dreams
cling
with the stickiness of spiders webs
and the persistence of commissioned salespeople
relentless, undaunted, unstoppable
determined to make an impression
Spitting out copper
and shitting out gold
shedding the skin
begging for forgiveness
yet denying the sins
Imaginary gods and figments
given substance by faith or by delusion
throughout the ages, seemingly endless and yet enmeshed to us
Pink elephants to lighten the dark soul, drowning in addictions
Gods and Goddesses, imbued with lifeforce by the changing faces of humanity
By some who crave a figurehead
to console, to love, to protect, to dole out punishment
By others who need to believe in something more than themselves to feel safe existing,
or by themselves requiring our faith in them to maintain their own brand of tangible intangibility
and even by the non-believers who pander to both sides of the court, striving for the best alliance
False idols and superstitious beliefs, held tightly to the breast
like a cherished, tattered teddy bear, with no eyes
so that the days are less empty
and the nights have more light
Belief beyond oneself
larger than life

the pic is one I took of the moon, from a moving vehicle while trying to keep the lights from the mall from affecting it.
The odd colours happened when I clicked the "automatic photo fix" once I'd put it on the com.
But I thought it worked with this. I am going to attempt to get an image that works with whatever writing I upload :)

This one, it seems to me, needs to be a little better organised... how did we get from "blood soaked dreams" to "belief beyond oneself"? I've read through it carefully a few times and I still can't quite see the connection there. I can see the concepts embodied in the work, and would love to read more from you on those issues - but this particular piece is labour-intensive in the reading despite the interesting nature of the subject. I hope this is helpful and not too harsh. :)

not at all harsh... this was a lil more "stream-of-consciousness" while listening to ambient music :)
