The Darkened Fury
In the darkened fury of my peaceful mind-
I see my troubles that are so far away
I look to the east w/solitude and hope-
until again I am bombarded with light of another day
My unsolved troubles, linger in my world
No trouble is it, that hurts me to kill
I look to the east and swallow a pill
Should I take it and drop away with ease?
My temperament, sanction, lust and prayers
take me to a space and bombards me with tears
I am hidden in a night,
With no real light,
While you are my greatest hope
Should I leave you all?
Recognize me now...
I see your face, how it holds my body-
And in your eyes I shall love the world and kiss them with your lips
And with your hands, I will pick you up, holding you so near-
I shall touch you all over
Giving thee a divine energy so powerful and intent
So pure, gentle, intangible and lean-
You are an angel from heaven-
A tall erecting physique
I stand so low next to thee in a stance
I know not from where you derived-
Perfection to thy androgynous one
My true love is in thee,
Though my response is only with a shield
More to thee one day
Unconditionally Yours-

I took this photograph to illustrate the emotion of my poem-
The sun beaming through the pier represents the unconditional love for this being I wrote about. In essence, the sun aka love pierces through any and everything if we allow it. It can erode self-doubt, pain, fear, and more. Love is the light.
The symmetry of self creation embodied with love and tolerance, enhances the core of the entity for whom it is imparted upon.
Love begets love. And therein lies the ultimate gift.
"it is with giving that we receive"
Wow, this is just amazing. You are one amazing poet, did you know that? :)
Also, that picture is simply beautiful. You are talented at photography too.
How are you today?
Wow- This means so much to me @jokster- really it does. I do not feel talented. I wish I did. I suppose I will with more nice comments from talented souls such as yourself. I probably have about 10,000 poems. I will share more for sure. I have not put my words out there into the world. I guess I never did because I spell poorly. I am extremely dyslexic. In any event, now that I can speak my words, etc. I am not as horrible of a speller thanks to modern technology. :)
When I was in the 6th grade, I won this STATE-WIDE Essay contest.
It was called
"Why my Country Needs Me" I was stunned that I won. My mom was too. Because I spelled poorly, my family thought I was slow. My teachers did not agree. Sadly, I believed my family.
However, I won this contest where EVERY 5th and 6th grader in the entire state of California had to enter. I received a plaque that was signed by Governor. I was in such disbelief that I deserved it, that I lost it. I wish I still had it today. But. It's gone.
I suppose that win did make me always curious about potential within me. I hope I can realize it if I do have that. Anyhow, sorry for this long response aka monologue
Oh, and I am happy you like my photography. That makes me very happy as well @jokster
I feel good today. I am with 3 amazing dogs- I love animals very dearly. I feel at home when I am fortunate enough to be in their presence. One is named Peanut, the other Teddy and my sweet little girl who I call Coco
what about you? I hope your day is stellar :)
I'm really glad that it means a lot to you. You should feel talented because you really are. For art, talent didn't matter. All that matters is freedom, and when you got that freedom to express yourself you did it. There's no wrong way to do that if you are truly expressing yourself.
I'm sorry for your dyslexia. But it's really nice to hear for your essay! I would like to read it if you still got it somewhere. If it's just as half as good as a song about a little wormy, he'll do great!
Don't give up, I mean we all got our own flaws, nobody is perfect. Just take a look at my english that I'm writing... Horrible. And it's not easy to write (special poetry) in a language you didn't fully understand yet. But I won't give up. :D
Awwww... It must be so nice to have 3 dogs. :D I always wanted a dog (not cat!) but my current lifestyle doesn't allow me to. I'm moving from city to city a lot while mostly living in the university campus or in a rented apartment
Btw. Don't worry about monologues. It's an interesting read. :) And please, feel free to enter into steemit chat and message me through.
Thank you so much! You're english is great! Anyone who can actually speak another language well enough to express something meaningful-well that is a feat!
I will try to figure out how to do steemit chat. How long have you been on steemit? You seem to really grasp this site!
Enjoy your schooling today. Learn a lot and "do not give up" :)
Thanks for a compliment. :) But I would disagree. I need so much learn to learn. The problem is that I never learned English in school, only damned German that I didn't speak at all. :D Around 8 years of learning German in school for nothing. I never liked that language.
I'm here for around 40 days now. Still pretty new you can say, but I learned some basics that helped me grow.
I got hopefully much more years left of schooling because my main goal now is to become an assistant in college and after that, I'll be schooling my whole life. :D
