Cruel, cruel worry came upon my brain to perch
Sorrow was his assistant, every crevice acutely searched
Then came in the rest of the battalion
Leaving a trail of bloody medallions
What is wrong, why are you never enough
What is wrong, hurt is lacing your heart’s cuff
Alone you sit, battle within, pull yourself up and be you again
Feeling mortally wounded with forces of evil up to your chin
Turning each cell, trying to fill each with disdain
Invading and depositing pieces of the blame
Mistakes do happen, will occur with revenge
Struggle and fight, do not allow evil to avenge
For inside deep, within the clay
Love is still with you each day
Fill your being with water crystals divine
Let love rule your artistic mind
Compassion and honesty, gentle and true
No matter the judgment of others…you are you
Let the water of the universe soothe your soul
Love crystals abound and give you control

thank you…I have worked on this one for awhile…debated posting it. But then, I thought maybe it would be good to post…so those who feel like I do sometimes, know there is a way out–we have do not have to stay in despair! I do believe in LOVE! We just have to believe we are born in love and we were created in love –“to BE…for this He (God) created all!” Wisdom 1:14—not much of a biblical verse guru…lol…but I do know that one! and I think it does NOT matter if a person is religious or not…I think WE ALL LIVE in the HEART OF GOD!
You are up late? so am I…lol….I am not happy with my lack of ability to use WordPress correctly…I cannot seem to get my spacing correct on my recent post…still working on it!

this is an interesting piece. There are two lines that drew my attention and I am still thinking about them:
“…Mistakes do happen, will occur with revenge…”
“..Let love rule your artistic mind..”
And the title is – Killer Despair. So I am not totally sure if this is about the war or actual killing. However, poetry is poetry and it is meant for each individual to get what they need out of it as we do see and read what we need at that point in time. Maybe tomorrow I will read it again and will see totaly something else.

Thanks for visiting my blog, Dace! Well, I never realized how militaristic I was until I read the comments on this post! LOL…both you and Sheridegrom refer to this aspect…interesting…well…basically, it was a battle within myself…Although, I do not like war or anything about it…and I feel that there is a fine line that seems to be constantly crossed by our leaders in the USA, who feel it is necessary to go to war. I think most of the wars, if not all, are about power and control over wealth, oil and, soon, water! Rarely, are wars about saving lives!

In spite of everything, you should remember your own words: No matter the judgment of others…you are you.
You live only once. People come and go, their opinions come and go but you are still you. Your hapiness doesn’t depend on others, it depends on what is right for you and what your heart wants.. 🙂

thank you…I need to repeat them to myself often…so that they become a part of me permanently! I so believe that how much we give our best to one another—our water crystals of love—so much healthier we will all be! Jesus is the Living Water—all makes sense to me–we need to be LIFE-givers to one another if we are true Christians…we should not judge each other as we do…but I guess I am “judging” some so-called Christians in my statement…Ouch! Bit myself! LOL

Just what you said about Jesus being the Living Water that we are to give out to others I was going to say. First we must quench our thirst with that water and then no other will satisfy. When I say me, I mean me also. I think we all judge daily and need to be reminded each day by God the Father and the Holy Spirit. Keep writing your feelings-I’m sure it will help many others especially when you close with a positive.

I just left your blog..,Your voice is beautiful and your composition of the “Ave Maria” is so spiritually moving…the video, provocative. I grew up with the prayer in my heart. I am appreciative of the fact that you read the poem to the end…At times I worry about posting the “dark side” of my thoughts but then I know that even if it reaches one person who is struggling it is worth the comments that ensue. I say the words for myself, for the release of their power on me. I say the words for those who cannot find the words, but feel the pain. I say the words for those who find difficulty understanding the pain of others. Hopefully, my poems will be one little ripple of the beginning of compassion for others.
