Caged

By
they lie in wait
below the floorboards of my consciousness
they try to find their way up
through the cracks
they try to seep through
through the damp porous walls
of the dungeon of my mind

their long dragging fingers reach for me
through the rusted bars of their cage
the cage i banished them to long ago
the cage of my dreams

they will not let me be
they will give me no respite
they will grant me no surcease
until i turn them loose
until i cry 'havoc!' and let slip their leash
these words
words much like poetry

Must I Choose?

By
I am torn, conflicted between one who is beside me and one that should be, I cannot decide. She is my anchor, speaks the words that comfort my heart. The other teases me, a fun loving heart they both make a perfect woman. But I must decide. Must I choose? She bats her eyes and I die, the other winks and my knees give way. Must I choose? She makes my heart faint with longing, The other cherishes me beyond what I can imagine, they both fill my heart with joy. If I part with her, I will die. If the other leaves me, my soul will be robbed of light. Must I decide? They both are the perfect woman. ~ Pandit. And so continues the emotional binge. Image: Diver From Beneath by Petr Kratochvil
