C.Rush Room

By Crush Room

A glutton for punishment, I choose to enter;
Voices are muted, but the global audience is deafening.

Cornered, trapped at every turn...a decisive dead end;
Trying to escape a carnival of words that don't include me.

The fireworks are extraordinary
Only this isn't my show
The flowers are blossoming to life....
But this isn't my Spring
A dawn bringing new hope
Only this isn't my day
A longing that begs to be found
But this isn't my journey...


All this and more when I open the door to my own private
C.rush Room...

Hell for the damned
Heaven for the blessed.

  • A former member wrote: beautifully rendered and the images of your metaphors, even your aesthetics leads to a purgatorial descent/ascent. . .. great write. ness

  • A former member wrote: Did you mean 'cornered' at every turn? This reminds me of walking into a room with too familiar faces... smoky... with jaws grinding and glass flickering under dimmed lights... and the scratch of lighters flaring up the darkness beneath a din of pungent smoke, nervous chatter, and metal squealing a locomotive right through so many battered yesterdays.... no will stands before the train too often without falling between the tracks... very nice write, obtuse, relies on interpretation, speaks little and yet, and maybe for that reason, cannot be but heard. Welcome

    Thank you...yes I did mean 'cornered' ;) I agree it does rely heavily on interpretation and I guess that is what I love about posting here....it is a personal journey. The poem is about DP.
