Listen to poem:

Stubborn Soul

Upon my intransigence, I seek solitudes,
sovereign of their state…
Pertaining to my pensive pertinacity,
rigidity reigns supreme…
Idol inflexibilities sustain my endurance,
thus my punitive perseverance ponders still…
For love be the catalyst that displaces my fortitude,
my firmness, my patience, my stamina staggers…
My valorous veins victimized with a wounded will,
I lay to rot a mortified morsel a malignant mammoth...
But yet I hold ground, entombed by the presence of love,
harpooned through the heart,
enslaved by its tentacles of tenacious tyranny…
For I am a man of vigorous valor,
violated by the view of Venus.

Hi WW, Good entry for the contest theme. I enjoyed hearing the poem as well. I must admit you've penned a " deep"piece. I will go read again to get a better understanding. I wish you the best of luck in the contest. Have a great weekend my friend-Alexis
