Time Breathes Hunger as Hunger Breathes Madness

. .                         I Feel as though each Day
                          My Emotions Drag me Farther
                         Into the Burden I've Created. .
                                 This Burden of Life,
                        My Mind. .My Body. .My Soul. .
                                    I Want it Not.
                      The One's I've Left have become
                            My Obsession. .I Reap. .
                          Above their surroundings,
                      Hoping Only that they Feel the
                             Arrival of my Essence. .
                      Oh how I Long to Say the Words,
                                    "I am Sorry. ."
                  For One who cannot Accept Herself. .
           She should not Hope that they will Forgive. .
                                    Only Reject.
                   It would be Meaningless of Her to 
                                Journey in Aid. .
                For She must Tend to others to Feed 
                             Her Growing Hunger,
          In the Essence that Her Soul has Gone Mad. .
                            Driven Beyond Reach. .

    Smile ~ "Your Beauty, Shall Be Fine 'My Dear Precious & Priceless Lynette Chachere!!!'" ~ I believe that amid most of the lives which I have met along the paths of this place here called PoetyrySoup that, "The Essence of 'Your Beautiful Light,' Has Always Shown Amid 'The Most Bright' &, The 'Soulfulness' of This Wonderful Painting Is, 'A Great Reflection As Unto This Absolute Truth!!!'" ~ "My Love to 'You Always,'" John!:) ~

    Dear Lynette, you may be surprised by people's capacity to forgive. If you truly feel this way, reach out and friends will surround you. Very compelling poem and it's great to see you posting again. You have a way of bringing so much intense emotion into your poetry. Please smile and forgive yourself and you will have a wonderful Easter! Love, Carolyn

    Again you have me wondering if it's based on some reality in your life or not! I like this, sweet girl. And where the heck have you been?? ARe you with the same boyfriend? Do tell!! LUv, Andrea ps. No, there is no secret admirer. That was just an imaginary character I wrote about.

    "For She must tend to others to feed her growing hunger"...This is a very interesting thought..Reads like the main female role of the caregiver and so many times she gives, gives and gives neglecting herself..Enjoyed reading your work...Thanks for stopping by..I have not heard from you for awhile..I am healing slowly from surgery...Sara
