Hallow'd Breathing

Hallow'd Breathing

A Poem by Frieda P

Haunted in my flagrant dreams,
    awake on hallow'd ground
you watch me breathe
        as I seek you out
cold spirits taunted past
           spasmodic verses chant
hollow insides afraid to sleep
  your sanctification renders me
                  uncomfortably conscious
numb within breath's shallow inhale
       undone in the nothingness of rhyme
   fearing truth's brutal reality
     bewailing in grief's heartfelt desire
pull me up to new sight'd heights
   in your wayward plight's surrender
       save me from this cruel humanness

Very well worded, Frieda. Sorry, I always repeat my compliments to you. :P Anyway, I think in "you watch me breath", it's supposed to be "breathe"?

"save me from this cruel humanness" In my dark days, I would've nodded to this but I'm happy being human and being alive right now. ;) Don't stop dancing, Frieda. :P

Thanks Pryde.
Cruel humaness that just speaks absolute volumes does it not. We are damaged and bruised and some of us damage and bruise even those that we love.

So so true, thanks Anne.
I've read a few of your poems and they all seem a tad abstract to me, with meaning that is deeper than you let on. Dark and intricate. They're all very fascinating :)

Kind of you to say, thanks again!
If I understand the review below, this is an elegy...and a fine one too, written with all the quality of classical poetry. Excellent.

Yes Leslie, it was written with my beloved sister in mind, thanks so much.
One often finds oneself thinking on times and feeling that can not be changed, moved or forgotten, your words break those rules, well done, good read.
