Eve Roper Poet Free verse

Soul of Chaos

My soul is torn in two,
      in this tangled web of chaos,

   trapped in this tomb's spiders lacework 
      in anguish and despair.

   Dare I run,
      hide in shadowed alleys?

   If, my soul will just assent
      to a haven of order?

Darlene De Beaulieu November 19, 2021 at 12:36 PM Hello Eve, yes i agree with Charles Messina, this is a great book to read. Foot prints In The Sand. I have read this book. Enjoy your day my friend.

Charles Messina November 19, 2021 at 4:18 AM Sorry, Eve. Whenever my soul is wrapped in a chaos I always resort to "Footsteps in the sand" Nice entry...best wishes in the contest. Hugs Charlie
