Ken Carroll Poet Free verse

Struggle

I find sometimes
my life is a struggle
fighting demons
embracing beauty
enchanting and rare...

All it takes
is a second
and your life
is turned upside down...

In my youth
I never received
much encouragement
from my father
I learned to move
out of spite...

But for you my love
I want to struggle
against your restraints
I want you
to lose control
I want to
lose control...

Force
is not a dirty word...

Andrea Dietrich April 19, 2014 at 9:34 PM this is very interesting one. I think your childhood , though perhaps difficult, has molded you into someone with extraordinary character. Ken Carroll April 19, 2014 at 9:36 PM Thank you Andrea!

Eileen Manassian April 17, 2014 at 6:30 PM No, it certainly isn't. LOVELY piece. I'm sad to read about your relationship with your father, Ken. We all have struggles...in different areas...Some struggles, as you mentioned, are just sweet! Ken Carroll April 17, 2014 at 10:26 PM Thank you Eileen for a lovlely visit!
