Spider’s Web cautiously, carefully I step once testing its strength before beginning this journey along the glistening, glittering silken thread that brings me to you, your waiting arms, loving kiss, gentle caress, ready to love, care, to hold and be with me what has been destroyed or never was with him you call out, I smile the strand wavers but I continue finding my way carefully, slowly, almost there, when I hear him calling me back to him even though he let me go, my future changed, now with you and not him a moments hesitation I turn to him which way now- forward or back? neither the strand breaks I’m falling, my balance gone my confidence lost falling... f a l l i n g . . . to be caught by silken threads, waking the beast- before I can move its tines sink in |

very interesting analogy...has a nice surreal quality that I like..looking forward to more. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

Spider's wed, i love this analogy. I often use it to be a symbol of how delicate life can be, yet how much work it takes you to make it what it is. Nice job on this one. ![]() I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

Wow! Nice work, though a bit scary, and definitely not encouraging for those of use who are indecisive! To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Beautifully intricate and woven analogy! Choices are scary ...Ellie Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton |

Thanks for all the great comments everyone... glad you liked the poem. If anybody has ever been in this "sticky" situation before, I think a spiders web describes it perfectly, including the loss of control that can sometimes occur in these situations. Ah yes, we do find the most wonderful inspiration for writing in daily life, dont we? |
