Poem Title:
Poem
Oh, this life has pierced my soul many times, thrust me into bottomless pits; impaled and bleeding- this girl has plummeted down, falling, tumbling, immersed 'til I am sinking. Life has thrown the dagger, the plunge is deep. Oh, death has left me so gutted and lost, I have wept forlorn and grieving; have asked why, why has this destiny been written, I want an eraser- I will change my own fate. Why life must you always, eviscerate. Oh, life sometimes you have sent me adrift, sent me on journey's misleading; given me false, flawed and corrupt information, erroneous- leaving me hallucinating. Life you have given facts so fallacious. Oh, life you have left me in a whirlwind, on swirling, twisting gauzy threads; but instead of down I am spiraling on up, there is this cyclone- in the mazes of my mind. I hold a tendril in, a vortex twirl. Oh, life amaze and show me the beauty, tease me with the puzzle of you; rattle, ruffle, and entangle your mystery, this girl- is ready to be bemused and bedazzled. Life I am awestruck, bewilder me. Oh, life I have this great thirsty yearning, do not torture and torment me; for I want only to enchant you with my charm. I forgive you for the bottomless pit journey. Life I am in the mood, to tantalize. Oh, life you may find me an odd, weird girl, I like things just a tad bizarre; yes I can be strange and a little eccentric, for example- I like wearing old vintage clothes. Life I am questioning, and curious. Oh, life make me a sweet crimson flower, flame-colored deep in a garden; dress me up in fury and flaming red petals, I wish to be- a fallen lady just growing. Life make me a beauty, dressed in scarlet. ______________________ June 14, 2018 Poetry/Verse/The Dagger of Life Copyright Protected, ID 18-1030-996-01 All Rights Reserved. Written under Pseudonym.
