Set Me Free!!

My soul hungers for completion, a position I have never held; My eyes show only my solitude, a cold world where my heart dwells. Can you imagine my torment, never tasting the sweet nectar of love; Yet tortured by its effervescent fragrance, the worst chastisement I can think of. I yearn to let go, but how can I when my fears faces realities truth; My heart asunder all over my body, and has been this way since my bitter youth. I gave my heart to many, yet from many I receive no returns; So now I give only my enmity for love, inside my soul is feeling the burn. Torn between two emotions, shall I love or shall I be alone; Allah's path is becoming unclear to me, but I am destined to figure it out on my own. Darkness fills my mind as my heart continues to show me the light; How is one to compensate for a body ravaged by an emotional fight. A tattered soul lost in confusion, how can a kind heart exist with a mind so cold; But in this trials I find a balance, a very hard find to behold. So set me free of a torrent of emotional pain and mental distress; Set me free like a dove, free me of this war inside my hollowed chest. An endless battle, who will be the voice of hope that comes to set my soul free; Who will be my liberator, I feel all hope is lost in me.

Leo sometimes I have felt this but emotions are so fickle. You write wonderfully and dramatically. Laurie

Well written stanzas, I think my advice would be to check out the" forms of poetry "and find out what form to make it. It is fun to find out all you can about poetry even if just online. This is depressing but such is life sometimes, well written imagery and emotion. thanks for sharing, Judy Riley
