] Date Posted: 07:05:16 01/17/08 Thu Damn your eyes and all that is you, Like a parasite eating away at me, You spent your years devouring my soul, Destroying the core of my being, Now I make stupid assumptions, Based on the legacy of you, Coded messages and unexplained, Tainting my gentle and open mind, Making me doubt the precious - Your venom not yet expunged, Yet I am healing, slowly and painfully, Your laugh still rings in my ears, A cackle of the most evil kind - Yet you have a new foe, One who brings me genuine love, Who lilts in my velvet night time, Opening my eyes to the real me, Not the manikin you dressed in hate, Soured with your constant bile, She empowers me , heals me, Allows feelings to be shared at will, No matter how painful or true, Your garish light is becoming dimmer, Whilst her loving and warmth glows, Soon you will be extinguished forever, I will laugh like Dick Dastardly, As Muttly tickles my funny bone, The game is up for you, I am a pigeon you will not catch, I have finally seen the path I need to take, My steps leading, one by one, To the happiness you so long denied, Farewell My hooded claw. © Paul Osborne 2008 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 13:10:04 01/18/08 Fri Heard you clearly there, Paul. Past relations tend to leave stains, some are quite impossible to wash away. A great poem, though. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 14:03:07 01/18/08 Fri Mireille, You are so right, if only I had known, I might have got some super-dooper washing power and jumped in the washing machine when she left! LOL. However, friends do help cleanse the soul and mind, and I am very lucky to have some excellent friends to do my laundry...including you!Thank you, Peace and love, Paul [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 03:15:00 01/20/08 Sun Such a powerful verse. It is so very true that people can hold other people back and in most cases it is people that are supossed to love us. The truth is we can only be held back if we allow ourselves to live in the black. I sense a resurection here in your words. I love poetry that does that. Visits the dark and then expands into the light. Enjoyed1 andy [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
