Prelude to Sanity

By Jewel

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

While the biggest pain encumbers my blood flow she becomes an old woman of the sea tethering with the ravenous waves singlehandedly, floating to another world. Disheartened in this passion-filled pain I ran the race without your guidance tripped upon the final hurdle home and awoke, face down, deeper than dirt. For we are children with no warning, no role to act, or footprints to follow Carrying our shackles along a thirsty road insults will not quicken us to the end. 'God befriended us as our cause is just' oh Henry, who defines that cause ? for our merciless wave rejected the shore no-one here explains disparity. Now, tired bodies search for a motive just why did we kill our sprit? the empty scotch and loaded ashtrays explain unaware you'd feel- it crept away to its suicide you've been inside your mind for years.
