Christian Alexander Poet Dramatic Monologue

A Colored Cage

I need a quiet place
a secluded place
a place for only the war to take place
a place for my demons to discover my Angels
a place for only my intrepid thoughts might hypnotize themselves 
 into a mosaic of time and bleed through these fingertips 
and this blood, red and stained so deliberately cast it's spell on these chamber walls
 so helplessly I'm trapped within the prison of my shattered mind

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

This is deep and powerful, all at the same time. ~ Brandy Christian Alexander October 2, 2023 at 12:58 PM Thank you Brandy.
