Tormented soul, release thyself from bondage
Fly to the air to take your wing
Let go of the Earth and mortal chains
That hold you back from what you want
Let not any code, rule nor convention
Keep thee from happiness and pleasure
Decorum has no place among nature
And thy soul is time immemorial
To live is divine and the time is now
To love and to run free, and to be
Experience every urge no matter how small
There is never a tomorrow
Only a here and now
And allowing every sensation felt
Giving and receiving are two of the same
Mutual appetites satiated when needed
Tortured spirit, torn between two worlds
Torment thyself no more

For me, this has a somber tone befitting the title... but many of the words are hopeful. You write wisdom we all should heed. *S* This is superb!!

Yo dear Chalmette Guy,

I'd give up the thees and thous.  No one talks that way anymore.

I disagree with Bobby... Not all poetry has to be modern, thank heavens, or be written in the vernacular of the day. *S* I like the formality and timelessness of the language you used.

Each to their own Bobby.

I just choose not to speak like the new gangsta rap poets.

Yo Chalmette Guy,

Did you ever read anything by T. S. Eliot.  Is he one of your "gangsta rap" poets?

Hows about Allen Ginsberg, or Carl Sandburg?  Are the "gangsta rap" poets?

I really don't care what language you use.

Dear Bobby, did you enjoy wasting all that time typing all that crap?

I really wasn't offended at your comment, I was simply trying to say, each to their own...everyone has their own tastes, even though you had to be a little girl about it.
No offense to any little girls out there.

Well that will learn me.  Never try to give friendly advice to people.

Yo Chalmette Guy,

You can call me anything you want.

Just don't forget to call me for lunch.

Bobby
