Demon woman cast me adrift in waste lands Imprisoned in open spaces of nothing Where denuded tree limbs shatter into stone Dust storms bleed you dry of emotions In thirst you cry in the sands of time In heat that bakes you immobile You stand your ground within your pride Demon woman do not take my song away Into the silence of sun rays bleaching The bones of existence from memories Leave me have a second of nothing In all the futility that I will still crawl to you In nails that scar the ground in howling sounds That reverberates in eerie echoes of screaming death Demon woman you left me alone in fend my void As my life slipped beyond me and I was then supported In whispers of winds my ears gave birth To the inner faith of an unknown destiny My lifeless eyes gained the moisture of angel tears As my nails prayed in a new song Demon woman you left me out of your womb In your excruciating pain you gave me hope As you were banished by the heavens of hope You left me orphaned to my purpose away from you In retreat I still sought you out as your power diminished In a spell you left me alone again in inner hope Demon woman I still bleed in needs But the purpose to exist in a miracle cleanses me As the ground before me now grows the fruit of purpose My hand claims the ground in a garden of love Rich in the moisture to carry on dreams As my team of angels stand their ground in my light D.Lester Young (03/23/02) Tuscaloosa, AL Copyright © D.Lester Young (White Eagle poetry) Email me at [email protected] http://www.authorsden.com/visit/author.asp?AuthorID=5012 |

D. Lester Young I am speechless, this is outstanding writing. Truly an impressive poem that conveys the impact that a single person can have on another. Super fantastic craftsmanship of the demons that lurk within, and the angels that watch over us. |
