Poem -
Of Lies and Experience
Let it fall
All around us
This master plan of
Lies and experience
Of emotionless pairings
Bound by dusty legers
I release this failure
Tossing it away like a hot coal
Inwardly I keep thinking why do I still love her
Why do I still seek her
Even as I release all my doubts
And run towards tomorrow
The darkness is haunting me
Like that love of ours
That denied me any form
That refused not to be silent
Not returning like to like
But instead became a stillborn orphan
Inside of us
We are so barren
In this faithless love
In this sterile life
I find myself running
To keep the vast tomb
From around my neck
Pulling me down again into
This lost world of your
Lies and my experience

Thank you I am so glad I have this place to call my home. There are many places you can publish poetry and get it reviewed. But they are not here. Here it is the fellow poets that make the difference. Their warmth and generosity with their time and opinion is much appreciated.
"Not returning like to like
but instead become a stillborn orphan inside of us"
A deeply profound and compelling write. I can read this in a spiritual way also... in my relationship with the divine, a lot of aspirations didn't make it to birth or were born deformed because I didn't nurture the aspirations of the soul and my covenants with God properly. That's my take away, even though I know it is a story of human relationship. Thanks for sharing. ❤ Shalom
Thank you for your great review and if course I am happy you liked it. As I wrote it the spiritual symbolism of the words did become apparent. When we write sometimes I feel it is inspired or has roots in the spirit and applies to the flesh.
