Nameless Demon

Lose sight of who;
Losing sight of you—
So you take what;
You taken my soul—
You nameless demon;
You have took it all...

Begin listening for who;
Beginning to listen for you—
So you break what;
You broken my will—
You nameless demon;
You have broke it all...

Protect me from what;
Protecting me from it all—
So I break when;
After you taken sight—
You nameless demon;
You have dragged me back to hell...

Dispair!
Misery!
Agony!
Anguish! 
Torment! 
Sorrow!
You nameless demon;
You have brought it all...

We leap into spring and life at its best. I am so scared I am going to sneak this into my subconscious and steal it, but accidentally, Michael, not on a knowing level.

There is nothing peculiar in being peculiar. Every child I see on a regular basis for counseling needs to memorize this phrase. Can I please use it, John? It might help a lot of children.

Your last two lines sums up young love,new love, and established love. This is a fav for me, Olaniyi.

EJ, you have just severely wrecked my licensed practice of being a LPC - licensed professional counselor, and I am giving you a bow for it. This is the CRUX of all that would heal the world. GREAT!

The ending made me want to cry, but know, Marc, she is still with you, in every sense except the physical and she and I both love your poems!
