Whispering Fragments

Why are we enslaved to the emotions who may blacken our hearts and distort our minds? Do they exist because it makes us humans...?

Whispering Fragments

Is your heart consumed by the whispering fragments?

For they are uncontrollable and enslave your mind,

Don’t let them consume you, or will you stay forever blind?

Do you hear the whispers…?

Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride, 

The sins that have but one place to hide, 

The ugliness of mankind, both perfectly aligned.

Do you hear the whispers…?

They act in an instance, embedding their rules and functions. 

Shall you not restrict them, their influence will thickens, 

Generating a situation with no way to rewind, 

For time can never move backward!

Do you hear the whispers…?

For they are synchronizing with your heart, can you tell your own thoughts apart?

Fragments of your own state of mind, giving them the strength to bind. 

They are what drives us humans but their influence may vary, 

Do you hear the whispers...?

Mankind’s homemade art, for we cannot live without them, right?

The factors that makes us humans unite, but at the same time…  

Generating our own fright, for we are bound by the whispers. 

Can you live without your destructive emotions?

If not, feel no shame, for many are bounded, in this world of us!

Do you hear the whispers...?

Heart, mind and soul all separate matters but interconnected, if one becomes distorted others follow, or could follow. The reasons could be all different, real/ imaginery mental/physical and so on. I liked your poem as it made me think and explore my own ways of maintaining the balance in my life. It's nicely presented; it jumps out of a screen, exposing itself and drawing the reader in. Great work!

I thought this was well written , grabbed my attention
was the size of the "do you hear the whispers " .
this was very thought provkeing our emotions do tend
to prevade our every action but is that for our harm
or good great writting

[Nightfeather]

Thank you for your kind words :) Sometimes it looks like our emotions act separate from us, because they can be really uncontrollable.

The only whispers I seem to hear are from the Holy Spirit when He lays a conscience attack on me if I start to listen to evil whispers. Valentine

[Nightfeather]

I respect your opinion. The holy spirit is the one who wards of evil and saves you from falling into eternal darkness. It answers trough whispers in your heart, some might say that they do not hear it but when you have faith in what you believe and in yourself, the whispers shall reveal themselves for your mind and heart to absorb and purging it all of evil in the process. Have I understood you right?

[Valentine]

Yes you have, we all slip at times. Kathie
