| Anxiety
Fear Shear utter primal fear It wrenches the heart Rapid successions screaming to burst Through your chest… Captures the body Held prisoner against its will… Unable to steady the hand Legs become weakened and feeble… Your stomach wretches and heaves; Bile fills your throat… Held motionless… Panicky… Lost in utter bleakness… Tunnel vision takes over; All paths unclear… Minor tinge of anger quickly becomes anxiety… Tears well up… Pride is lost… Humanity quelled… Paranoia sets itself in… Anger returns “REDUCED TO THIS!” Fear faced time and again Yet only grows stronger… Reduced to a helpless babe No protection… So much pain! Night no longer is my companion… Emptiness is all that remains… The net has been severed… Weakness becomes my mate. Willow 2003 |
| Precariously teetering on the edge
Oceans’ angry crashing below Drawing down Beckoning… Fierce Threatening Advancing Wanting to envelope me… This maelstrom of pellucid emotions Terrified by its ferociousness Calmed by its strength Serene yet savage… Menacing yet composed… This is my hell My sanctuary Are you still willing? Willow 2003 |
| I looked out to see Sols’ soft glow kissing the horizon –
His orb calling out to embrace me It was then that I realized, His kiss would never be as warm, His embrace as strong, Or His radiance as bright, As my lovers…. Willow 2003 |
