Click hereYou hide in the bushes and lurk from the trees
silent you think, as you creep through the weeds
stalking the prey now wise to your needs
I sense your presence, forever I see
You listen and contrive
from the outside you watch silently
the saunter of the walker as her faith thrives
Her steps strong and steady as she glides defiantly
Oh dear muse
you stand in the shadows of fallen oaks
like a torrent rain your empty words
drenching your soul, denial forever to soak
Courage brings you to my front
to know the secret of the walk
but lies, doubt and broken trust
are walls that cause you to balk
I see you now
without your daystar glitter
only a man
lost and bitter
A raggedy man
who runs and retreats
just a man
who has wornout the soles of his feet
Lost in the mind
dead of the heart
you exhaust me
I no longer play my part
Denial is a snake charmer...
that will whisper sweet lies in your ears
blind your eyes
harden your heart
deaden your soul...
So dear muse
I live to feel the blood in my heart
the singing of my soul
I close my ears for I now have control
I pray someday
For the return of your daystar glitter
Once a man so brave who knew his way
Living within the oak a desire bright that burns
and a life lead no longer bitter

sackover 19 years agoI think I said this before, but I wonder if the rhyming scheme is absolutely necessary. You are such an amazing writer, it might be interesting to get away from the "tyranny of the rhyme" as it has been called.

"I pray someday

dreamy,
sandspikeover 19 years agoThis is a good poem. I like the flow and found it
educational in some sort of way. whynot
Angelineover 19 years agoIt really flows beautifully and the rhyme is just right. There's a lot of insight in this poem imo, and great use of metaphor, too.
