Thomas Carney Poet Dramatic Verse

Thy Self

He can not answer this for her
The tides deterged are clear
Their feelings on a pendulum
Is something both so fear

To sail the seas around the world
Expecting not a storm
A pleasant voice without complaint
Unable to perform

Emotions let one's feelings out
Don't bottle them inside
A balance keeps one's measure poised
Contentment to abide

When chaos hits its not too late
Maintaining self control
To trust in Him and not on self
Submit one's heart and soul

Kp Nunez February 21, 2015 at 11:56 PM I love this. Starting with the take on matters hard to answer but deftly maneuvers inclusion of a loved one in the dilemma on how to handle life's tests as they journey through life. Ends with power as the ultimate solution with Him is found. 7+++. I love your poem, Thomas. Smiles. :D Kim Thomas Carney February 22, 2015 at 7:55 AM You are too kind Kim, but you nailed the meaning of the protagonist's expression. Thanks....Thomas

Rob Carmack January 16, 2015 at 11:23 AM I like the range that this poem can be applied to. An excellent, open write. And 'expecting not a storm' and introspection. Unfortunately, most cant see beyond their 'self'. Glad I found this one. Thomas Carney January 17, 2015 at 11:56 AM Thanks rob. I am glad you found it as well. Even one comment from a reader makes posting here worthwhile. Peace 2U. Thomas

Thomas Carney January 12, 2015 at 1:11 PM Author Notes: Was not sure what to say as far as type of poem as I saw no correct heading. The poems is Common Meter, alternating iambic tetrameter and trimeter with abcb rhyme pattern The poem is about a relationship, introspection, conflict with "self" and what is a good resolve >?
