Naked Subjugation

Naked Subjugation Last night I wandered past your total disregard And walked forlorn Stark insecurity amplified Still I walked , my usual forbearance uncomplied Upon furthermost the distance between us elongated The sustenance of forgotten stores inside me generated I was venerated - nay subjugated Of these morsels congregated And fed me through those ink-black nights In dew fall of the quiet Inside unheard the rebel riots As my breath became a billion As my fears that I embraced Loosed themselves and fearing fled Melting in the murky bellows Did I find my standing there... Naked but for meekness laced Forgotten was my fear I needs you did not anymore Nor your disregard this doggone day Not dejected as before Only sin has me surrounded And soon encircled disappears, decays Unclothed in limped insignificance Nothing said ..

WOW to the first line, Jannie, it is a grabber and I found so much significance in each line that I rewarded myself with 3 reads. It is deep, the imagery compelling. So nice to read you again. Blessings ... CayCay

I think tis poem is about courage. The courage it takes to give up addiction is superhuman. Especially in the face of doubters. I love that the person in the piece found freedom.
