In a deserted place void of love I came to ground Filled with doubt I wandered around
I had been here before such desolate waste For how long? Must I remain fallen from grace Forsaken to walk alone in my path Unimaginable longing for another to hear my heart My language long forgotten ancient and bold Destined to sing and heal their souls.
The path drew me to this beautiful tree All my senses warning me I know to stay here would be wrong The tree inviting sturdy and strong delirium lulling me to restless sleep
My dreams more magical than ever before Wanton desire for the fruit it bore As I dreamed the fruit became a man Overwhelming need to take his hand The wind blew strong warning me not to progress How is my heart to resist his caress Wishing I could stop and freeze time Drunk with love for a man who can not be mine
Whatever his reasons for drawing me into this place The warnings ignored the moment his hands touched my face I knew I was captured and under his spell Dreaming under a tree where I dwell
You are Forbidden but just like Eve I take that bite Regardless of all the wrongs and rights
I know the destiny of the path I've taken And GRACE for me is still forsaken.
Thankyou I have not written for over a year so its lovely to know the emotion comes through. The fact is I only write when depression takes hold of me as a way of releasing the inner thoughts however I am not sad so writing something today is more of a challenge. Hauntingly sad poems are my style I am a hopeless romantic xx
