You were infuriating

And your voice so aggravating

But my feeling's unabating

And I'll firmly stand my ground

 

But you don't see

that you'll be

Standing alone:

 

Eternity.

 

And Let you in?

Be a sin.

Listening to your mouth begin

To dictate

Things I hate

As your voice begins to grate

You'll gestate

I'll contemplate

Then you'll start to get irate

Where-in you'll expect

Me to be

As compliant as can be

But then you're floored

By my Sword

Wielded by my tongue, of course

 

You dropped me into something new

wrapped me in a feeling that was all but true

Then tried to clip my wings when I flew

Next to You..

 

So this person that I've mentioned

May have had some good intentions

But he held his head aloft,

And he lost it in the clouds.

 

'Cause one & one & one is one

For those of which are lost among

those of which hold every piece

Until the time they feel release

And then their lives crash down too

Cause they refuse to start anew

 

Or even share the torch.

There is a long, and probably not very interesting story attached to this poem. It was really painful, and it was really childish. The bright side is it made this poem, which I really like.

On occasion, our poets give a synopsis of how and what inspired them in the comments.. all good....:) it's only up to you how much you want to 'share',

I worry that by explaining too much behind some poems, that it makes them less personal for the reader. I think this is one of those poems. I explained the story behind Sh*tty Sandy. With this one, I think it's about allowing yourself to get lost in the way it is metered, and allow yourself to dance on them (because I think this particular poem has a really cool natural beat) It seemed important to note that this poem came from somewhere, but I think the 'Speak little listen much' rule is important to this poem. (if that doesnt sound to hoity-toity) by the way, I love your comments mstanely, especially since we arent even 'friends' it means you actively look at my poetry. that is really awesome, and makes my day.

Understood, I likes the 'dance on them' comparison, interesting I've went more on the silent padding towards and then pouncing...LOL I'll have to think on that and see if I can do something on that order. Note: we poets inspire each other also :) or get the Muse awake....

Another fine assemblage of poignant poetic verse, Dusty!

I loved it. I felt it on a very deep and personal level. Good Stuff! I can't wait to read your other writing (I'm trying to catch up on everybody's work after a two week flurry of writing).

    Circles with a sword.

    I have no idea what that means, but that was my thought while drifting through your poem:) Enjoyed it, Dusty.

    This poem is a dynamic statement Dusty and I believe it could be the source behind many of our stories. You have expressed the frustration we have all felt at one time or another. Thanks I love every word.

    Excellent poem Dusty. As JS said above, the poem certainly depicts your frustration and anger at your situation. Nothing is worse than being continually abused emotionally and verbally in a relationship. It seems like a very bumpy and difficult road for you. May you find some peace and serenity somewhere.
