we do our best
we try to aim
to reach the skies
to play the game
to live a life
of love and stars
of peace and joy
and no more wars
but we are tied
to earth and soil
we breathe the air
of nature’s toil
it may not be
we might not reach
the dreams we dreamed
the tales we teach
our flesh weighs down
it cannot be
that we are freed
into liberty
so take a moment
and say a prayer
blow it softly
into the air
all will pass
and this we know
struggles will end –
a final bow.
Even if I crawl on my knees
Beg with an outstretched hand
Even if I am overcome with raging desire
Surrounded with butterflies from
My head down to my toes
Please, I plead of you
In my temptation
Overpowered –
Please!
Stay away from
Me
Addiction has lured me in
Trapped me with seduction
Tempting me with honey
Mixed with vinegar
Anticipation beats my heart
For that exciting taste
Forget the bitter
I want the sweet
thirsty eyes
thirsting to drink
teasing words
enticing to hear
temptation strong
tempting to sin
poetic lines
seducing me
Go on
Do it.
Just once.
In my weakness, You give strength
And on a personal note:
I do not write under a pseudonym. My name is my name, and I am writing in a public space. So just to say:
My blog is a place where I allow my soul to express itself. I do not edit very much, if at all. I allow my fingers to type and what is typed, that is what I post. Some of my poetry is drawn from past experiences, life situations, hopes, dreams, desires, wishes. Not all of it is auto-biographical. Or of recent times. It is just what it is. At the moment I am going through a difficult time. Trying to create a new me. And some of the old is hard to let go. It is hard to change. It is hard to create a new something. Whatever that may be.
Thank you for reading ❤
