State of Suspended Passion

0 posted 2001-12-09 05:36 PM


Almost a temper raised
fight with dreams
in toss
it seems as if I couldn't be any more inclined to tremble
as I am at this moment.
So just ramble with me
slow down, thought
leave me to the dispair I feel settling over me
like a cold morning on sleepy skin.
This time I know not why slumber takes me in
except to hold me
cradle me
and hide me away for the next meeting
in the stars of winter skies.
Just when I had been enjoying the season
I was hit
and I
stumbled
but I got back up
dusted the hoplessness and doubt from
the strong back I have been cursed with
and I stopped falling once more
just floating now to let the days have me.
But NO!
I don't want to drift
for there are shores of nightmares I
have been all to familiar with
while sifting through clouds with the wind in my face.
I forgave the slap of wind I was blinded by
only to know that there was another kind of pain
just waiting up ahead.
and I now, sit here wondering
how right it is to feel so down
and do not care
no I do not care
and yet I do
and yet I DO NOT WANT TO DRIFT
and I do not want to doubt,
but how could I not doubt
when there is so much hope for enemies?
Oh Please
I don't want to drift
to be drained of all my light
to dwell where shadows drink every night
unwittingly being their intoxication of choice.
I want a light
please
just me huddling here and hiding
and I want a light
the one I dropped
the one that I lost when my kindess stopped.
I want a light
but I don't want yours!
Weak batteries have been my dispair
and I do not need another week battery
cluttering up my soul.
and I DON'T WANT BATTERIES ANYWAY!
I want a natural powered beam
where the sunshine infuses itself
and bleeds out through my smile.
But for now I'm giving up again
and maybe tomorrow I'll forgive myself
for loving and living too much
and maybe the next day forgive you
and the next forgive them.
but for now I'm giving up
and do you really want
to follow me
down
.....here.....
?????????????

I am many.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Siofra, this is soooooooo emotionally well-written! (sigh) May you embrace the pure sunlight always, and dance to the pure light of love that your golden heart reflects! (sigh) Your beautiful heart always shines with love, and love never needs batteries! (sigh) We all love you so very much, sweet friend! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Siofra, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I really felt the emotion in this, I mean I really did.  Yes, I followed you all the way down the page also.  It spoke to me.
