He weaves into the fibres of my soul
Impervious to the power he possesses
How i try to contain my minds meanderings
to a heart mindful of what it confesses

I am overwhelmed by my helplessness
of the struggle against the confines
The torment of a spirit unable to conform
to what my destiny has already defined

How do you tame whats enclosed therein
born alone and not willing to share
emotions buried deep in my psyche
That i only unto myself do compare

Why can't he see the torment he weaves
self adhearing with each sinewy strand
conflicting with the aloneness of me
hopelessly captured by what is known as man

swallowed remanants of a past self
Now shared amongst the remains of she
In the blood that flows to create my life
now combined with the creation of we

"I am overwhelmed by my helplessness"

Suzanne, now that's an excellent way to phrase it.... *sigh*..... i certainly could identify with this .... you did a very good job with the imagery.... i really liked "each sinewy strand"/..... *ahhh* of this verse you have woven...

You've done a nice job with your imagery here... My favorite line is
quote:

The torment of a spirit unable to conform
to what my destiny has already defined


Isn't writing about love just grand??  I'm glad you like it here, btw..
