Beholding an OathA Poem by Maryam MottahedehBeholding an Oath Loneliness has plucked from me An image from my past Another scenario oh too familiar a smell That of comfort mixed with so much desire for change So much desire period
I took an oath to this body And the dormant is again awakening to the same truth To the same illusions same believes Holograms of safety, control, superiority and inferiority All inter twined in the stem of self
And this plucking This fuel The blessed motivating factor of sanity and of choice At my side My companion preceding the body and such dreams of womanhood
Gravity is strong And I full of questions Like a child forbidden
I can see it coming Can I be a sorcerer and change my fate I can see it coming Can I steer and make do with gravity and the image of my subconscious portrayed And chose a new story And fall not from heaven into the traps of self deception Laid there in deep nightmares from which I’m awakening
Angels of mercy Let not these perceptions frighten me Let me behold the projector of self And the greater powers that is behind you and me Let me remember from where I came And keep my oath Be like you a sorcerer in my own dream © 2012 Maryam Mottahedeh |
