Of Battles Past With eloquence you hide the pain my voice simply displays, two voices crying disillusion in this juncture from separate paths. So then by irony cursed we join each other's regiment only to create our own conflict from bits and pieces of the past. We reach only a short distance before learned fear and mistrust shorten the length of our arms, leaving fingertips to languish alone. In moments of aching peace, two so nearly victorious fail to leave the injuries at the site of distanced carnage. Yet our scarred souls cannot retreat from fire nor forsake the struggle and leave our battle defeated. We continue on oft caressing then piercing one another's spirits, weeping our silent cry.

I'm not sure I understood this, but enjoyed the read. Good poem. Be well Kethry. "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- Cole |

Ana, love this poem, and the feelings it evokes. It's a sad world, loving and never getting it right. It is so true that past things will try to interefere in whatever relationship we are in. Catalinamoon / Sandra |

Maureen, thank you, as always, especially for help in editing. Kethry, you've given me a sincere compliment when you say you're not sure what I said. I am usually so simple voiced that I long for the ability to be puzzling. So, I deliberately tried to be obtuse. Hey, it worked! Sandra, thank you for reading, for the praise, for visiting Songs of the Siren and taking time to email. It's always nice to hear from another lady. |
