Invasion - Poetry

in #poetry7 years ago

Invasion

To quell a tide of soul's unrest
Seek the calm of mind's deep paths.

Flee fear, cloaked in surprise,
Or terror slithering in the night.

You beat her to serpentine death,
Yet, she rears her monstrous head.
Swarms of kind rise up to follow,
For they lust for your tomorrows.

Don't let them steal those golden moments,
Or consume your precious days.

Give her nothing she can feed on,
Leave her slain by ebony highways.

Move your heart in new directions,
Disable circuits in reflection.

Is it simply just a choice?
In this world have you a voice?

All you do, and all you know,
Can evade an undertow.

Leave nothing to pure chance,
There's a wound that you may lance.

Give it all, or give it naught
To bear this precarious onslaught.

very nice poem and look like you are now master in it...

Thank you, dear friend. I don't feel like a master....I just write the words that flow from the heart.

Beautiful poem!

That gif is just gorgeous! As are your words. I love the idea of being in control of our emotional wounds and lancing them. The feeling of empowerment in this is strong, especially considering what you are going through. Sending you love!
