Dark To Light

Poetry of my inner museum penned by keys, to express the prelude to my anxiety and agony. A panic to release my frightened barbed mind, no longer to live this awful innermost state. Uttering my release of grim gruesome emotions, and my inner light and dark of my moon, My secret knowledge deeply hidden and annoying, opening the tunnel clearing all that is opaque. Now optimistic I strive to remain victorious, my oval eye to scan for my minds inner pride. My right to build my own minds monolith, no longer patronise and wound me in my plight. In control, again to be whole not scattered, in my life that was less fortunate and vindictive. Avoid dark, a path threatening to destroy my soul, move to the bright light away from the vicious, and towards a new beginning, finally living and happy.

Hi Mark. The van der Merwes always did have a way with words. Some would say a runaway mouth. In Afrikaans : so n bek moet jam kry. Glad I found you. I can so identify. I wrote along similar lines. Hugs from Broederstroom
