Reblogging this for Oloriel’s Sunday Confessionals
“This week for Sunday confessionals, I would like you to pick a letter of the alphabet, then create something inspired by or influenced by an emotion whose name starts with your chosen letter.”
Zig zags carve my mind, bringing forth
Youthful reminders of
Xenial days revolving around friends and family.
Withered and dying,
Voices begin to echo
Unbidden and unwelcome
Through my subconsciousness,
Succumbing to illogical
Reason, it is hard to
Quantify their existence.
Pulsing and painful,
Obsessive and oppressive,
Nobodies
Manifest themselves.
Lest these demons take hold,
Killing my sanity by
Jostling and jeopardising my
Identity, it is
Happy Days, fond memories which
Guard and protect my
Fragile persona,
Expertly
Diverting the
Cancerous delusions,
Banishing them from my soul:
Alert and aware, they are my Angel.
Awesome! I love the way this is so cohesive!!!
Thanks Val. I wrote it some time ago and think it’s one of my best.
Wow, what an amazing Poem. Loved it

Very clever and very poignant.
Thanks Glyn. One of my better efforts I think.
