Description I seek the solace of untamed wildness
A Journey along the Dreamscape
An escape from the weariness
That leaden my limbs

I have been a fool for love
Had I known what love was
Confusing it for Lust and Passion
Left me Scarred and Burned

From allowing deepening feelings
For one who could not return them
The rationalization did not alter them
But reined in further degradation

Being used and abused
Was branded in my soul
Early in childhood
No sense of worth
Or self esteem given

All I heard was insincerity
Excuses and justifications
Self complacency to not rise
Above our human weaknesses

Instincts became my friend
Though feeling like a Creature
I found pride in being more true
To myself though wounded I was

I snapped at the hand that proffered
Kindness and attempt at feeding me
I have chewed up, spit out
And scorned at even tasting
A well deserved victory
Over one who did not realize that a Victim
Can become a worse predator.

I have felt the lack of fear
That normally would petrify another
As adrenaline spiked my blood
Into a moment of extreme lucidity
Where my mind screamed
I will not go down in fear
I will go for the throat
Your rights end where mine begin

Is there any place left
For a comforting shoulder
For joy to be felt
Is it only about Power
And the survival of the strongest?

Thank you luv. I've been a while on a dry spell in terms of finding words that expressed my thoughts. Some of it was resentful and angry and choked out the flow of words. Sometimes it becomes a jumble in the mind.

well it's a very pretty jumble, you should make more of them into deviations

It is the light of hope,
that creates a shadow,
a place to view and reflect?
For without such light,
whether be from guilded sky,
or be it a glow from within.
Or should it be the coolness,
of a waterfall's lonesome cry,
calling out to forfill our need.
Either way such shadows be
a santuary I'll sometimes seek.
For within it's mystic darkness,
lays in wait such a beauty,
filled with wisdom and mystique.

Wonderful image and poem, my friend.

I'm weary hon...sometimes I feel like I'm crushed under the weight and want to curl up and sleep and forget. It passes of course but while the clouds hang low and the thunder booms in my ears on the horizon, the gentle touch of a hand on my brow would feel like heaven or even in a moment of weakness to allow myself to imagine such a hand for it doesn't exist...for now... I just want to forget...

Thank you for the appreciation luv

Just rest awhile, dear friend.
Knowing a Wolfe sits at your side.

Thank you dear It is not a concern normally weather I can shoulder it. But I'm being reminded that even I have my limits.
