Desire Of No One

[soulfir3]

I am a faceless entity
a dream which dissolved
so many moons ago,
as hands of ancient ghosts
gathered me,
taunting my tortured soul
ushering me too the farthest corners
of the darkness

I am a dreamless weaver
broken from misfortune
held beyond will and recognition
of what is , what could be
standing still against winter wind
statue like in appearance
heart of stone
soul of ice

I am nothing
empty whispers ..
and promises long broken
toyed by the needy desire
of another who calls me "love"
but it is faithless,
empty and dead
hands twist around me,
murmuring the sweetest - nothings
into thy ear , but they fall deaf
fingers graze my flesh,
I wish not too feel them anymore

I am a faceless entity
dying amongst debris
of fallen hearts ,
mine is there
strewn across marble floor
shattered by a thousand feet
which tread upon the very vein
which helped me breathe

I am an empty shell
shadowed against the world
secreted from the light
held open for another's selfish desire
coldness envelopes myself
under cloak of death and darkness
I am taken victim,
silently I fall

what sorrow can the heart hold
no more than the joy that contains it???

Enigmatic poeming and imaging. Did you take that picture? Sabrina.

Thank you all, for the kind words and comments.

This is an older piece and written around about the same time as the break down of my marriage.
While I no longer feel the same isolation and self failure, at the time it was a very strong emotion and it made things certainly appear much more difficult than they might have actually of been.

And yes, Sabrina, I did take this photo. It is taken in the stairwell of my Nan's old house where she lived before my Pop passed away.

Is it not odd, as humans, we tend to see the end of a relationship as "failure",
instead of seeing it, as the springboard, into something more in our lives?

I wonder, as humans, are we mentally hardwired to feel that way? Or is it,
a societal knee jerk reaction, to being taught, one marriage and one marriage,
or relationship, or you're a failure as a human and a lover?

I wonder about these things, as people whom have stayed with one partner,
seem to see themselves as better than those that havn't...Or if you've had more,
than one relationship/marriage, you're a failure or something is wrong with you...

I find that attitude surprising, considering the day and age of so called enlightenment,
we supposedly live in...

Like I still find it surprising, if a man pursues many sexual liasons, he's considered a stud...
But, if a woman does the same thing, she's considered a slut, instead of a studdess...LOL...

Forgive me, Soul...Your last post got my mind to wandering in type about things, I already wonder about...

Intriguing photo...It just is...Someone left a beautiful spirit print on it...

Boy! Do I ever wonder those same things!!!!

It is hard to believe everything is alright
when you have given everything you have
and it just never seemed to be enough...
to hold onto the one thing you loved the most...
like something is missing
somewhere inside you
and you just don't know what it is
or where to find it...

today -
i gave away a heart of stone
wrapped gently within
a shield of cotton
comforted by it's smooth
soft hold
breathing softly into the wind
I allowed myself to cry

today-
i surrended myself to will alone
and watched the world I knew
disappear into somewhere else
laying back,
I held my heart within it's safe cocoon
letting spirit and soul
roam unfound moons
