so whatchu think? *cocking head* ; )
behold! there stands one
battling forces seen by none
from newborn light awakened
the struggle lasts til sun is taken
trained to arm with steel and chain
these now fail and quickly wane
but of these woes no utterance let
the weary heart and mind beget
facing battle, the heartbeat waits
the breath leaves quickly as to faint
knowing not how to charge this new quest
all must be risked and soul put to test
no enemy be slain before or behind
only thine own, fitted harness may find
you, o warrior, must hold true
til second strength comes anew
when relief heals, this not known
verily as better force beats thine own
inspired by the wonderous Ms. Dickinson's words:
"To fight aloud is very brave,
But gallanter, I know,
Who charge within the bosom,
The cavalry of woe."
here's one from a little while ago...
my fingers stray a bit longer
running over wool and braids
recalling why it affects me so much
and causes my heart to stay

what i think: excellent first poem. i love it.
the second one, i must freely admit i don't understand quite understand. probably just because my mind is not refined, romantic or poetic enough though. not becasue of a problem with the poem.
but the first one i completely understand. haha now that wasn't predictable, eh? :)
love them both, but now I'm super curious, what is this braided woolly object that is so dear? haha, I guess that was the point eh? Oh Damaris, look what you've made me say ; )
well i have to admit i do love to be the ambiguous poet... attempt to be ; )EH! haha <3
