somebody's dungeon

Did you know
I was reaching out
in darkness
blind to what
the world was
ignorant of what
the outstretched hand
signified...

and is that why
you led me
deeper into the black
and then left me
lost and frightened
alone
unprotected...

because you
were playing
a sick game
with the heart
of an innocent
for the right
of passage
as a "true"
Master...

You've left bodies
by the wayside

there are casualties

somehow I think

you know this...

and look the other way
on the walk to your
throne.

Sometimes they do that.  I like this one, there's a fragility to it, mixed with realism.

Very well expressed common situation in the world today but a very, very, long way to go before the throne is even in sight let alone sat on - I'm not sure if that's a comforting thought or not when one thinks "soul".  Good write!

I always step aside for those on that journey.  After all, who am I to get in the way of Karma?

  nice work.
