Fascinating poem, Melvina. There where narcissism abides, there is no space for love for the other. Dashing words you created here and thank you for sharing this intriguing poem. A 10+++++++ for the vote. Please, create some more poems for this site, your last poem on PH was created in 2016. Great pity if I cannot read you in future times.
i just reread this. and i noticed that the last of the last line COULD be interpreted as meaning Melvina is in a hospital bed, ...........but from what i think i know about you, i don't think you would be without 'love' standing by. i hope you are well! i left a comment some time ago. i shall 'borrow' this to go into my/our March 2017 showcase. it shall be used in its entirety and as is. Thanks. let me know if you DON'T want me using it; i'd remove it then. bri :)
A salutary tale very well expressed, road chosen to final loneliness. A brilliant piece of writing and true poetry. Tom Billsborough
The Road Less Traveled for the contemporary world. Melvina, this is a brilliant work....A perfect 10.
EVERY step....... :) LIKING this a lot so far. i can wear a one piece suit to get my pie i hope. strawberry-rhubarb preferred, but i'll eat most any kind, including raisin and mincemeat pie. got ice cream? ? great, Melvina! to MyPoemList. care to share in showcase? ? bri :)
Narcissism is the beginning of the hunger for power, and greed. Entitled. It is also the beginning of the end of any true love given or received.
so many have gone this way blinded by a material world until it's too late. they have everything except wisdom. thanks Mel
Its been awhile since you posted, reading this in retrospect leaves it feeling as if you were not at a good place, or something happened to affect your spirit. The words are a powerful indictment of a narcissistic personality, the opening lines do not miss a punch, and the first half come across as a stream of conscious write in a very fast pace, I get a sense of unease when reading this. I do hope your well Melvina, still glad that your work is still here! .
