Doors Wide Open

by Maple Tree   Oct 31, 2012


It's amazing how
much I can keep hidden
in the maze of monkeys
and purple hazed windows.

Only the lonely know
of what I speak
in the above, tangled lines,

and I've only just begun
to allow the moth balls
to fly,
for they have wings,
and thieves know
when syllables are
eaten at three am;
I'ts time to break it
down, and speak
of the unspoken,
in the attic above me....

    Andrea, my sweetness...I don't know what to say here...you are one amazing lady...not just for the obvious but look at what you wrote...it is so creative yet so smooth...its like it was already etched from gold...
    Excuse my craziness...its early you know :)

    It's amazing how

    ^^ Well...this opening...it reminds me of two things...childhood and home...and the Zoo. Okay thats three. I kind of take from this the past still being the now if you get me...I'm sure there is another word Im lookig for...not the past or futute but now...

    Only the lonely know
    of what I speak of
    in the above, tangled lines,

    ^^^OMG...tangled lines indeed but I'm sleepy so...now it brings me to the idea that this.place you speak of was your place beyond home...like as a child you make your own places and things become your friend

    and I've only just begun
    to allow the moth balls
    to fly,
    for they have wings,
    and thieves know
    when syllables are
    eaten at three am;

    ^^^Its nearly half three AM...how spooky OMG...but I love the play on moths and eating...annoying little buggers aren't they?
    you put moth balls in the cupboard..like hiding away your past maybe.

    I'ts time to break it
    down, and speak
    of the unspoken,
    in the attic above me...

    ^^^and then you twist it up and add attic and again I think past...hidden...out of reach

    You seriously captured me in my train if thought this morning...its ridiculously early but I love the way this made me think.

    hugs you...
    Xx
