Packaged Emotions

Dee-Dee Carter 1962 (Chicago)

Free verse
Searing through membranes of time
Some are warped
Some are free
Emotions seeking deliverance
Everlasting declarations

Postponed engagements
Never-ending promises
Seeking truth through muted lips
Restricted security unknown to man
Given the keys of searing passions, desires and faith
Can unlock the hopes of a millennium's trials
Transplanted from one crying in the wilderness...
