A SPILL WITHIN A GASP

In a gulp of air... it hits me

this uncontrollable stress

I grab my chest

and desperately fight to catch my breath

these feelings they press

hard... leaving me to fall to my knees

depressed

weak... these bottled up emotions

they burn so intense

like a love flaming fire enraged

but caged, locked away in silence

a slave to this torture

bondage... a grip I cant contest

all I want to do is loudly express

my love-

for him

In a gulp of air... I scream

desperately scream, a name that cant be shared

and I feel unspoken pressures rip into the air

a weight I can not bear

it lifts my tattered being

throughout me it forcefully tears

and after this crimson art has its way with me

unexplainable pain

drives me into a numbing nowhere

of-

what do we do?

In a gulp of air... war

I love you... I want you... I need to be near you

everyday I touch on a thought of you

and your face, it haunts me

through messages of the moon

nothing figured... so far to go

what do you want? what do we do?

choose-

so much to gain, so much to lose

paths paved with echoing voices of assumes

walls to high and thick to break through

I stagger to my feet immensely confused

and clutch my bleeding heart

pounding with a love so true

in every war there is an enemy

the world-

disputes

[Me]

wonderful imagery.

[Priscilla Sayers]

I do know that feeling. Many do and that is what makes this poem intense, it relates to so many. Keep pouring it out and lettin' it flow. You will find the release and support you seek.
great poem. Full of passion, rage, intensity and most of all the willingness to fight for love.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

oh yes! I know this feeling.........wonderfully penned!

[Wolfwind]

No force on earth is stronger than the hearts pulse, granted by the divine. Your words speaks of the human choice, a choice never easy, sometimes queasy with fear. I'd say listen to the Lords voice, I'm sure you'll hear.
The emotions run deep within these words. Emotions I've known and tasted. I pray you find peace, on one road, or another. The right road.
