somebody's dungeon

This is it,
you have to know it's time.

I waited, I debated,
went on while I hated,
  damn I was fated,
no matter I contemplated
still...the world,
  it went on.

It turned, mistakes,
I never learned.
Forget I got burned,
spurned, my stomach
     churned
with bitterness
     helplessness,

and still the world
went on, it kept on.

I fell upon, you.
Now it's twisted,
shadowed, askew,
      on it's axis,

and I'm in a perpetual state
              of
                 f
                   a
                     l
                       l
                         i
                           n
                             g.

There is no controlling our fate...or is there?  I enjoy your writing whether it matters to you or not....I really do.

You're a fine poetess WhiteRose~

BluesSerenade,

It does matter to me. I write to touch others, when I know that I have, then I feel that I am blessed. Thank you dear sweet lady, for those very kind words.

Linda, thank you earthy angel.

It may be effective, but I swear everytime I click on this post and scroll down the page, I get a bit dizzy.

Tough words, that touch. Very effective write! No falling, without rising again ... it's in the nature of things.
Hugs. Margherita

A very tragic story of a love affair?
But oh, how elegantly painted.
As one who has stood in those shoes
Now and then,
I enjoyed this very much.  Ken J

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

Anne, this is a really strong write.
Sounds like you've got determination
to not stay down, even if you did fall.
The form you used for this was very  effective.

By the way, friend, I always
enjoy your poetry.

Heart Hugs,  
Ethel
