Funom Makama Poet Sonnet

Confusion In the Dark

Sight disappears, irrelevant as dust
determination makes one crazy or brave
snatching the light anyhow, is a must
sensing danger even if it is a wave
compensates for survival which is just
but not independent from an unknown grave
restlessness available for a kind lust
as understanding extends its hands to save
view the chronicles of a struggling boy
thinking hammer is needed to break small nut
nothing then is as temporal as joy
each promise comes with a coma and a but
a sorry mind turned into a bad toy
strings of slavery only clarity can cut

Laura Breidenthal March 4, 2016 at 2:20 AM Those last three lines are particularly unique and powerful...very interesting sonnet here, Funom - I would love to hear about what inspired you to write this and your interpretation of it! ~Laura Funom Makama March 5, 2016 at 10:49 AM When a difficult situation makes one confused, the person becomes totally lost. Trying to find solutions and answers on ones own can prove very difficult and even when so many attempts bring the person in question to an answer, it ends up been "nearly" Funom Makama March 5, 2016 at 10:49 AM A CONTINUATION FROM THE REPLY BELOW......... The mind gets frustrated as it is being played by confusion of which the last line ends by telling: Only clarity (explanation by another helping hand) can bring the saving grace. No inspiration from this one, just my imagination. Thank you so much for your wonderful comment
