Cobwebs

Only in thy corners do mine cobwebs appear
yet thy presence a magnet for thee I often fear
so trapped mine voice screams out for freedom
silence creates a wall upon which I do succumb.

I see thy mean beast eyes devouring mine soul
eating me piece by piece ending my present toll
he canst take mine being I will escape his wrath
where is thy doorway to thine calm peaceful path?

See mine self is not weak just lost to thy spider
he sees mine selfishness and spins thy web glider
knowing one day I'll no longer fight him bare handed
and forever be trapped as his, for his game is candid.

For now escape is imminent as I further mine distance
from thine cobwebs that tangle mine mind spewing dust
mine own cold prisons waiting whilst I clean up thy mess
reaching out to live thine simple life within thy sun's caress.

Fight thy good fight Esmeralda,...Good poem...like your spirit.
Thou devil inside,
no doubt thee will slay.
Thy fight will be o'er,
er'e new light of day
thine web disappears
And thee on thy way.

Wonderful! I enjoyed reading this, but the cobwebs sent shivers up my back.

Through no fault of yours, though..

I'm highly spider-phboic..**forgot the word

MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND
