PULL
CLAW
SCREAM
....doubt......
Begging in my guilty hands is the ache of peace
softly bleeding through the cracks in my fingers
noticeable......
gasp lightly, light headed
LEANING
NUMB
what an ache to torment dripping guilt
potential incessantly taunting me
VICIOUS
FAILURE
cover the cry, struggling from tight lips
a dry and empty throat, barren of voice
DEAD
DESPERATE
to find whole such a broken mess
that was the dream
VOW
PLEDGE
unkept promises splinter in guilty hands
bleeding the unquenched thirst for peace
through tightly closed fingers that are incapable
of opening the barren throat from captivity
long enough to breath peace through the tightly sealed lips
of hopeless greif
OVER
AND
OVER
broken for love, such a deceptive potential
lying in guilty hands
dressed up with words to mean "peace"
yet...
NOT
OFTEN
ENOUGH
to capture a still moment of honest
intent
SURRENDER
BEGS
EASILY
warrior struggles through the mess of dreams
reality is a cold dish, best choked down with self-pity
DISTANT
ANGRY
I...yes...I am a shallow warrior
susceptible to many dreams
taunting dreams of peace
and being whole
SHACKLED
REALITY
and
then
......dOuBt......

This was a very impressive display of what feels like modern spoken word poetry. It is highly emotional and I can hear my own mouth recite this with ease. I would love to hear your reciting of it. Though sharing it only with words is enough for the reader to pull out the strength within.
God, Love, Muse
