Forgive My Spoken Word

Yield to my name, for fear is at my shadows tail I am no poet of light, my verse is my heart A romantic walking on fantasies, I see not ahead any longer, my day fades into night The ink of my pen flows, like the blood that is rushing in me now Forsaken I feel, to have ones kin look away and pretend to not know of one is hell To my lonesome I have been, and again to it I go Pardon my way for I am only a man, and a man of sin I am I walk towards death, and even she fears my coming steps Alone I am to be, so take my ink and set me free To steal a heart, or to seal it, lost in mind I see no other way Let the skies witness my passing a blue Am I to find love, or her bony fingers reaching for my neck Which way should I take? I need to open my heart and let you in Guide me so that I may grow in your ways of good I shall not forget you, it is as if we met just yesturday You never did take my hand, I still reach for it today Perhaps I need to give you my heart, do as you will See the dripping dreams? And they dry I don't understand of what I feel I loose my emotions to you I ask and plea for strenght if only I could stand My heart grows blue, will you not take me in I write and I plea please hold me that tomorrow I walk alone - to all my fellow poets Sometimes its better to just give in

The struggle within the heart and the mind is very well expressed in this poem. Fear is a great barrier to peace, love and happiness. However we must never compromise with our souls, easier said than done, for we humans long so much to be loved. Thanks for sharing a thought provoking poem. I am a neighbor or was, I should say. I come from Belgium. Caroline.
