The Crossroads in my Mind

What's going on in my life right now. We shall see how the world turns.

"Nothing is more alluring,
Or seductive as a soft woman. 
Especially one of which,

You cannot partake."

I whispered softly to him,

After everything had gone soft and blurry.

Why is it that,

We are compelled to do what we are forbidden. 

I sit there in his arms,

But really, I am standing.

Standing at this crossroad,
This crossroad with three paths.

There's a pathway to fog,

New, undiscovered,

Wonderfully alluring and mysterious.

It has always beckoned to me,

Always slowly revealing bits and pieces that make you want to discover more.

Then there's the path to the sunny stones,
Strong, comforting, warm.
Those that have welcomed me into their warm graces,

Always there to understand and comfort.

The third is softly lit,

Less traveled by and softly inviting.

It ends in a shallow creek,

One that my body calls to run over it.

And it always softly complies,

Causing my curiosity to ignite.

Each option has it's appeal,
Each one calling to me in a different way.

And as I stand in the middle,
The only things I feel are,

Alone and confused.

As I come back into his arms,

My body shudders as I take a deep breath.
And as our hazel eyes meet,

My mind is whispering.

I'm softly going crazy,
Can you hear it?

a great piece. as all youre pieces are. i read them all back to back and couldnt help it! lol. you have such an easy, creative style. ill be looking for more from you. nicely done, yet again. :)

[GetTheHellOut]

A really nice poem. Great work. It's nice to have you back. :D

[Casanova]

wow I like this a lot-why did you ever leave?

[Louise Whalen]

I'm curious about the three paths and which one is negative, if one is...? sorry if I totally missed it.

Your opening lines are good but don't forget to put a comma, not a period, after the statement.

And "why is that we are compelled to do what we are forbidden" needs a question mark, not a period, at the end.

Your ending is rather weak and slightly cliche. Find a unique to express your mind's craziness, possibly with a concrete image.

Besides those things, very good job! Your flow was excellent, and, as usual, I connected.

[SM Davis]

this is indeed soft and sensuous. very well done.

[Papillion]

This is a wonderful and powerful write.

[Kathleen Cavender]

I like this piece very much. I like its visual imagery. The metaphors are something I can relate to as a woman. It seems to be an evolution of thoughts spun from your piece, "Goldilocks or Red Riding Hood".

So much depth and richness in your expression. We seek to know, but we can only see a short distance; fog and forest block our vision. Just beautiful, Keira. Hope you will post more!

[Yvonne Heidt]

Goodness Keira - what a way to make a comeback. I literally got chills reading this piece. Maybe because I can relate so well to the words and the emotions behind it.

"I sit there in his arms,
But really, I am standing.
Standing at this crossroad..."

This is excellent writing. Soft and yet, sensual in it's path. Beautiful job.

I'm so sorry you got hit. Looks like pretty hard, too. This is a new beginning, and you started off well. This is a good piece to begin with. My problem is, one day this path looks good and I take off on it, and then my mood changes and I wished I'd taken another path. You commit, and go with it. Matters of love complicate any path you choose. Good piece. Rain..
