YOU

by Elisabeth Barstowe — Read all 441 poems by Elisabeth Barstowe

Friday, July 24, 2009

You cover me in your blanket of moodiness
and You shroud me in your discontent,
never content with anything
just plainly out of reach of happiness.
Endlessly wallowing in misery
You are drowning in self pity
How frustrating it is
that You allow yourself to sink for the joy of it.

You are like a hovering cloud of rain.
Like the dread of a dark winter night
You cower in fear at the mere sight of opportunity.
Like the knight of dark sorrow that YOU are
You battle (your) LOVE with all your might.
Like a black hole You swallow all that is given to You
and all You give in return are massive destruction
and warped images of deceit and falsity.
You leave no stone unturned in your quest
for chaos, a dark prince of twisted perception.
And many a trusting stranger have been brought to
their knees in futile battle of the justice that is unjustly yours.
Pull down the blinds of covert mind games
and color the world in blue
all to bring about the chaos that is YOU.

I think we all have met a dark prince one or twice in our lives.
Great write! sometimes dark is a very good thing because it is our way of weeding out the tares!

You go girl!

Elisabeth,
Strong, dark and passionate write...the sense of frustration and disappointment palpable. The final three lines are indeed powerful.
