somebody's dungeon

Sometimes I cower at the onslaught,
the barrage of words
  wanting to be heard,
screaming out of my brain.

It's something I can't tame.

I've tried to push the visions back,
still with words I am attacked
the secrets of a heart,
that demand an audience.

Not always making sense,
but able to be deciphered
by those minded well enough.

Yet, I wish only to tell of love,
not always saved, not always free
certainly never here with me, though...

I gave away my heart, you must admit
       that is a start...

Still, it came back broken,  
not worthy to be written of,
        or spoken of,
why write a life that's lacking love...

The words they still assail,
   Again I'm forced to tell the tale.

Anne, this is a sad heartbeat I'm hearing. Let your words pour out the pain.

You do 'dark' so well, I sincerely hope that your writing is from your imagination and not from your life. Always an interesting read from you.

You could hurt me with your bare hands. You could hurt me using the sharp edge of what you say. JEWEL
