PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

A lustful impulse
stimulated my cerebral valve
as I culminated to a high
reached only by an intellectual dissolve
Tasteless
though it seems good when first tasted
it left me searching constantly
looking for something to replace it
Seeing a sound of stillness,
Hearing the taste of death,
cringing at the inability to control the garden,
sobbing for time wasted.
it reminded me of
Candle flame like flutters
I could not catch myself
I had a mental complacency
Over throwed by an overcrowded shelf
the room around me spun vehemently
as if I was on a wild ride
life was rotating heavily against my will
where is balance
where is grace
where is calm
where is love
As I meditated on the dialect
it became like two days late
Gut Tight feeling
I could only imagine
And wish
of a mink coat softness
Able and willing
I thought I could bruise the head of all that slithered
but the strength and courage that blossomed
only seemed to wither
he said his way was sweet
but my lips became bitter
how soon has a man fallen from grace?
prepare for me a yolk of ease,
PLEASE make this burden lite.
Time is looking,
eternity is panting
and my heart draws closer to the night.
Cascading through my thoughts
Contagious it became
As I continued to taste it
Lust found satisfaction
Then He showed me
how to lace it
How do I return from a high
that's taken me to the depths of myself?
no recourse
every which way I turn
seems to lead me further from a detour
my soul is flooded like the streets of Ybor
drowning, can't swim, no breath, sea floor
Backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, tread –
in the mental firmament
from the emotional firmament
I'm soaked with dread!
I’m unsought and sinking like lead
I'm finger counting my reverts
Anticipating the impact
but
rock wasn’t at the bottom, recourse
so I lift my voice in love
while sweat pours violently to my seat
I hope
I can stand to my feet
I have faith
So I surrender myself
And through my weakness
His love became perfect
