Tansy Roekaerts Poet Acrostic

New Beginnings

Now once again this pain so raw,
End so abrupt, the parting so sore,
Wanting but failing to force open the door.

Breathing is laboured, gone is my healh
Each part of me stolen forever by stealth.
Grimacing with pleasure, that gargoyle face,
Inventing the need my past to disgrace,
Never revealing its purpose, nor why,
Naked the flame of hope left to die . 
It’s hard to believe that I still stand,
Not brave, not strong but surely damned.
Gave it my all, till it all fell apart
Still I survive, so again I shall start.

John Hamilton February 5, 2021 at 11:51 AM Thanks for this excellent entry , congrats Tansy on a nice win! Tansy Roekaerts February 7, 2021 at 7:08 PM Thank you It was my first try at acrostic and I found it really fun. I know I didn't hit the theme till the last line but I found resonates with the fact that in real life it takes a while to realise the end of something is the start of something

John Gondolf January 28, 2021 at 1:00 PM You are strong and persistant, Tansy, Still you stand and you survive even when you feel as though you are damned, and you begin again. I hope that in real life your life is more pleasant. Hugs, John Tansy Roekaerts January 29, 2021 at 8:47 AM Not really but at least gives me reason to write!
