Unloved, unwanted, such words reverberate through my soul echoing voices of past prejudice and spite seeding the belief in my own unworth yet the blade sings a seductive song promising an end to pain Like Sirens calling Odysseus does her adamant allure blind my mind to the exigent pain defining my existence through it all I hear but one voice calling me asking that I remain, yet even that dulcet song fades from my ears growing distant no longer can I hear words only a sense of urgency that rivals Death's own The blade before me promises one last quick pain then into peaceful repose will I fall a red haze across my eyes darkens to embryonic black wherein shall I find sweet release from constant demands and strangling ties that bind those tethers will the blade cut clean In the end did I seduce her or did I but become seduced by the blade ©1999 DreamEvil ------------------ Now and forever, my heart hears ~one voice~.

You know my thoughts on this so I won't belabor the point here. Though I find the subject abhorrent, I have to admit you have a way with words.... You are so intelligent, why can't you turn your mind to the gentleness in life...hear that one voice of peace..take the hand of forgiveness...isn't it time to let go of the pain of the past and move forward into the future? I can't imagine what it would be like to live this way...I try to be an upbeat person and even when I'm depressed, I tell myself I'll get over it. I watch children play - it's a wonderful antidepressant! I listen to music..soft gentle music or raucous, knee-slapping music. I won't let myself be defeated by the feeling....I wish you would find a way to let go of your pain...Sometimes pretending to be fine eventually conditions your mind to think you are fine..and then magically you truly are! Try it.. it's not a form of lying or cheating.. the mind is a wondrous thing...use it for healing not hurting....I say this as your friend..as someone who cares about you. |

Darkly seductive -- how I enjoy your "blade" series! And the final stanza -- what an irony! Well put, as always, my friend. You've got me thinking. --Kess ------------------ You cannot choose the way of your death, but the path you choose will determine its own end. |

Embryonic black... sounds so restful and safe. DB ------------------ September 30, 1659. I, poor, miserable Robinson Crusoe, being shipwrecked, during a dreadful storm in the offing, came ashore on this dismal unfortunate island, which I called "the Island of Despair," all the rest of the ship's company being drowned, and myself almost dead. ----Robinson Crusoe---- ==Daniel DeFoe== |

I have not read your other posts in the Blade series as I am new here but if they are half as good a read as this one than I certainly will hunt them down and read them as well. Having been trained in Kendo (Japanese sword fighting) this poem struck a chord in me. I too have some poems that involve the lure of the edge. great poem Yoin |
