Description I've chosen this image to express how my soul perceives reality in my

DARK DAYS

I fall into a black abyss of pain
where nothing and nobody's left...
no love, no tenderness,
just deep emptiness.

I look for a ray of light to cling to,
a slim hope that is worth living for,
that helps me breathe...
but darkness blinds me.

Then, like a black, threatening flood,
pain rises from my womb to my heart,
and finally spurts from my eyes
disguised as crystal tears
_________

I wrote this poem few months ago, but there are still painful, dark days that tear and make my heart bleed...

Manuela m'deer. Heartfelt words & atmospheric image, both show where you've been and both are beautiful in their own right

Remember, it's only dark because there's no light, so I'll
light a candle for you to see the way to your own peace

Thanks Alan! My life is slowly getting brighter, but I still go through difficult moments...I'm like a tightrope walker...sometimes I loose my balance and I seem to be falling down, but then I suddenly recover!

Γ¨ la Chiesa dei Cappuccini? quella dove ci sono ossa e scheletri in scene edificanti?

No Francesco...Γ¨ TrinitΓ  dei Monti, in cima alla scalinta di Piazza di Spagna. La Chiesa dei Cappuccini a cui ti riferisci tu Γ¨ alla fine di Via Veneto, vicino a Piazza Barberini.

chiedo umilmente scusa... ormai i miei ricordi sono troppo lontani: devo rinfrescarli al piΓΉ presto! e poi ci faccio pure la figura del vecchio rincoglionito perchΓ© TrinitΓ  dei Monti Γ¨ il mio posto preferito in Roma e riesco (o riuscivo?) a raggiungerlo a piedi dalla Stazione FS
tra l'altro alla Chiesa dei Cappuccini mi ci ha portato Alda Teodorani, una scrittrice neo-noir/pulp/ecc... mai sentita?

Ma dai...macchè rincoglionito! ti ha tratto in inganno la scalinata...anche la chiesa dei Cappuccini ha l'ingresso in cima ad una scalinata, più piccola, ma pur sempre una sclinata!
Il nome della scrittrice non mi Γ¨ nuovo, ma non ho mai letto nulla di suo!

p.s. urge un tuo viaggio a Roma per rinfrescare la memoria!

prova a leggere anche qualcosa di suo!
mi sento di consigliare almeno Le radici del male e Fiore oscuro.
almeno in biblioteca dovresti trovarli...

Grazie del consiglio...devo approfittare dell'estate per leggere un po'...durante l'inverno casa, lavoro, famiglia e mio padre non mi lasciano neanche il tempo di respirare e divorano tutte le mie energie!
