Untitled #13

I hide in God's shadow

as my heart is immured

and panic rises to a

place above my tightly

closed eyelids.

Stripping me of,

of the dignity I 

have pretended to own.

Painfully smoldering 

contending desires.

In wanting you so much,

my feelings have slipped themselves

into the realm of subconcious

contempt, and scared me away.

This is SO beautiful! I love your writing style, and the way in which you word things is so unique & authentic. I love every stanza, but I would have to say the last one is my favorite, because it shows the most emotion and really touches the reader. Awesome, awesome, awesome poem.
