Dark Companion
Oh dark companionΒ
sensed lurking in recess
of deep reflection
with opportune delight
To pollute an innocent sensitivity
deplete solace in guileless existence
achieve a death grip hold
instil unrelenting intimidating
panic stricken restlessness
Where sanity tiptoes a
tormenting tightrope
and oblivious release
an enticing consolation
A known formidable foe
battled and beaten afore
A suffering endured strategy
cages and diminishesΒ
a grasping reach
so a never surrender
only unceasing engagement

Hey WENDY!!.....I sense that there is much more going on here..... perhapsΒ I'm off base...... but..... it seems...... you're hiding....... and not letting it all out here ......'the write seemed frenzied....... and a stretch from what I normally get from your insightfulness.......maybe I'm just an asshole who thinks he knows everything .......but I seriously got an odd sense of non-Easiness from this....... I'm so sorry ....please tell me I'm wrong!!........ nonetheless ......I "LIKED" it!!..... your friend and admirer!!.......T xo.Β ?
Thankyou Tony for your insightful words. This is actually about depression which I have battled for many years and I must say am in a happier place these days. Though I'm always watchful for negative thoughts to get a hold. I've read it again and I think I know what you're getting at might be wrong (an abuser in background) and it could work for that too. Poems can be interpreted indifferent ways. Thanks again for your clever words. Always appreciated x
Very strong piece Wendy.....Poems from the inner soul are always the best ones. I wish you bright lights and colours to keep that dark companion at arms length ! Recently I wrote a poem onΒ the same subject called Zombie....I'll post it soon.
Best wishes ....Mick x
