Lost & Impeled

A Poem by Mariah Slade

Self- Actualization

I found You today

underneath a memory

under a plastic album cover

in tears , in silence , in waiting

and so I reached out to You

and I asked ( I said) " Come with me.

Foggybottom forgotten has beens, forget them. Come with Me"

leave the shade of nostalgia and

step into the sUN-present

taste a glimpse of sufficiency

and euphoria and

Everything that taste Good

you looked up and looked beside there

and saw-- alone

fear there

and despair there

I asked you ( I said) "come with me "

and you remained there

Stuck with your drAgoNs with

eyes rAging like demons

Stuck There

Sword in my bag, I wanted to slay them

I asked you to come (I said) " leave them"

But ...you stood there

Stuck There, lookin' for someone

I found you today

I said " come with me"

I'll show you a love that grows

Exponentially

I stretched out my palm your eyes glances over

you wanted to come

but your drAgoNs begun

they fired " that hand is unknown,

a bridge waiting to fail , but us you know

you rest in fear and on the lips you kiss despair

So I sung you a melody

resembling the Sun

about strong bridges and slayed drAgoNs

you began to hum

I said " Come with me "

See this love

Dance this FReE

your dragons

unleash them , come join me

take my hand

dance upon this bridge like LibErty

I Found Me Today

she was afraid and shivering

underneath riddled memories

I looked within her

In formation - I slayed all her dragons

and threw their heads in the deep

I Found Me Today

she was young and naive

She was looking for a memory

but She was waiting on QUEEN

You were right, I love it. Oddly for me I usually find non rhyming poems more like short stories. This one however seems different. I can sense the underlying message inside the flow. It tells me a story within a story. Thank you for pointing me towards it.
