Creature Of Our Domestication

I see thy wall of turmoil as it closes in
shant a fool cautiously rise again to sin
where art there not wagers costly inbred
as thy tortured soul tastes lustering dread

Look upon thy lowly lessons embarked
'twas man who less than perfect marked
thy territorial realms of domed ponderance
whilst fighting for his own personal dominance.

Creature of our domestication by wisdom
taken from thy mother's own safe kingdom
to fight lively with thy mighty tongue wielding
mother of earth always about for close shielding.

Thy wither of self grace upon fertile manure
trails thee spread ravenously lacking any cure
falter thine aching heart in grave times of dismay
as dangerous to thee as when thou silent do stray.

Ye canst beguile thy fellow friends of any man
whilst baring witness to thy own highest of plan
caress thine storm with born eyes awarded vision
as through thine destiny integrity creates precision.

I just love the words you use and the way they flow. Super.

May your roof never fall in and those beneath it never fall out.

I like the way the words go together and the way it sounds when you speak it.

Wonderful flow...Well written...I hope to see much more of your work..

MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND

Irish Blessing

I thank you all most kindly, this was one of those poems that kind of wrote itself, and I think is a bit on the confusing side, but thanks for your compliments.
