Evicted

 

 

Love needy...

 

Exploring

Pouring

Out of my soul

Love

All of me

You can have it

Here, hold my world 

I'm only asking 

For true love in return

 

He studied me like a textbook...

 

Seeking love

Finding deception 

Motives

Not governed by love

Steal my kindness

Weakness

Is what you read on its label

A dime a dozen

Is what you paid

 

What he got...

 

Grab my heart

Squeeze it

Until it bleeds

Don’t waste a drop

A never ending supply

Of my painfilled

Bloody tears

Is what you got

To wet your egotistical whistle with

 

Worth the cost ...

 

And it only cost you..

Nothing

You took the

Five finger discount

And I

Like the fool my Father

Didn't raise

Unknowingly relinquished

My unguarded soul

 

Ah, but wait!

The fountain…

That beautiful flowing

Healing fountain!

I must find it

I must …

For if I don’t

I will bleed to death

Internally

Eternally

And the "I" that I am meant to be

Shall perish

Prematurely 

 

…..and I’m not done here yet.

 

I call out to the fountain,

My lovely healing fountain

Oh no…

My voice!!

Where is my voice?!

Can you hear me?!

I scream in silence

 

For years.

 

Head down,

Walking through life 

One day

I stumbled upon a 

Fountain

A beautiful

Clear, pure

Flowing, healing

Fountain

 

And it spoke to me… 

 

“Drink of me,

Or you shall suffer

A spiritual death.  

Your insatiable need to love

And to be loved …

Will be no longer.

Your purpose will be taken

It will spill from you

Causing a flood

And the one who truly needed you

Who is waiting to love you

Will drown.

 

So I drank…

 

The sweetest water I have ever tasted

A cool, clear, loving liquid

Glided down my throat

Into my bosom

My womb

My heart 

Peace,

Strength

LOVE

Not external

Internal…

 

Clarity...

 

Perception

Changed its direction

And found the place

Where true love is conceived

Within

Where it has always been

Waiting  

And now resides  

Eternally

The previous tenant

Was a liar

 

And was evicted.

Loved the whole poem but the above lines were just exceptional. I think you have reached a new high. The energy in the piece is refreshing. And finding love within, priceless. Good job Dani.

The peace, strength and love that resides within you! Wow! A powerful poem, D! A keeper! hugs

I like the way you have expressed love lost, especially the importance of healing the heart and going forward. Nice job! *Lana*

Interesting structure and well done. That this piece weaves a story from the onset of love, through loss and then clarity/healing is very, very creative. I like the use of different fonts/colors to enhance those sections. "So I Drank..." would have to be my favorite stanza overall.

Powerfully good writing! Thanks for posting it so we could appreciate your well-honed craft.

I looked at this from the point of salvation. We look for love in external places, fill ourselves with love that can never be fulfilling. Once we accept ourself, we can be accepted. I liked the aspect of the water being the healer.

Good flow and word selection.

What a wonderful poem! It is very unique and original. You are an incredibly talented writer!

[Creepy Swine Guy]

You were correct to call this one of your signature works. It bubbles up from your core, bringing history, explanation and understanding from those who would seek to know you, to love you or simply to understand you.

Now lead me please, to that fountain that I may drink.

Fun read. Interesting play with analogies. Enjoyed the ideas the reader is invited to explore on your journey. The end indeed is fun and adds that surprise punch.
