Crosses and palms

Crosses and palms

To the ends of the earth

 

North and South

 

East to West

 

I spread my arms and tilt my head

 

My eyes bleed, while my heart pumps

 

Prurient beats

 

Choices of good and evil

 

Stand before me with great strength

 

They expect me to decide......

 

I turn away.....from both

 

I hold my breath, as I watch the crosses fall

 

Palms erect, holding the power of freewill

 

No longer having faith in false images

 

We are no longer chained

 

Follow me through the graves,

 

And see what life offers you

 

Kiss your loved ones goodbye

 

And release them to the sky

 

Follow me to the waves

 

And cleanse your souls

 

With the blue spirit of the ocean

 

Get high upon the waves,

 

Absorb the sun rays,

 

Let the sea salt heal your wounds

 

Now, you're free............

this is nice and reminds me of Bob Marley's words :

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfil de book.

your words ring true and we keep ourselves shackeled to all that we fear ... yet fear is but an illusion just like everything else we have thought into reality right ...

i like it .. simple words with much depth .. well done x

[Rob Santana]

The waters of the ocean symbolize humanity in many prophetic writings... I see this as embracing our humanity and loving our fellow man and woman.
The ocean is healing in so many ways. In reality and metaphorically speaking.
You penned great depth here Rob.

Nice write here... I haven't dove into your darkness yet but I am definitely loving this poem on relinquishing your spirit into peace and freedom. Well done!

[Rob Santana]

Thank you very much K...

[Caradoc]

Wow...this is downright beautiful. There's so much hope and tranquility in this one. You know, for all that you're amazing at dark poetry...you're pretty good at the light stuff too.

I'm impressed. Bravo.

[Rob Santana]

Man, Thank you so much Caradoc. I'm truly humbled. Your writing is both dark and beautiful my friend. Your review means a lot to me. I'm trying to branch out in my writing, so when sometihng comes up in my sick mind I just write. Thanks again.

[Caradoc]

You are very welcome. And thank you. It is good to branch out, although I myself struggle with poetry of a light nature. I'll be on the lookout for more light and dark from you in the future. Be well.

[xMiss_Psychosis_Phantom..]

I like it a lot. I love how you say that the sea salt will heal your wounds, and you see the ocean as a spirit. It is a beautifully written peace with a bit of positive energy.

[Rob Santana]

Thank you Quill :)
