Sunshine White Poet Rhyme

Fearful

Fearful of taking the leap;
Fleeing an alleged stability
Wonder struck – can my devotion be so deep?
Resigned to a prevention of ability

Escape this captured state?
Scared of rejection
Cowering from the pain you may aggravate
Not understanding the complexion

Perchance I have been conditioned
To accept and commit;
Wronged into position
Ashamed at wanting to quit

I’ve taken the easy option
Remaining on a rocking vessel
Preceding with caution
Emotions all a wrestle

He blows hot and cold
Insulting words then beautiful flowers;
I know it’s wrong to be controlled
But charm empowers

I’m a ship aground;
A story untold
A pulling tide restrained to the sand
A flower unable to unfold

I’m a boat marooned;
You’re young and yet to settle
You’ve chosen a rose that cannot bloom -
a bird entangled in nettles

Robert Lindley February 28, 2017 at 3:59 AM LOVE THIS POEM. Great closing stanza, with a deep message. Very solid 7. Sunshine White February 28, 2017 at 4:33 AM Thank you so much Robert. It really helps me to get comments as I've always love poetry but never had much feedback sending to my friends. This poem took me 10 minutes to write such was my feeling.
