three, four, five, six steps into the unknown

Posted Jul 18, 2010 · 21 lines · 6 critiques

the fear settles in
darkness jumps my bones like an old lover
oh, so familiar

doubts flay open
translucent skin
shining paths
nowhere to be found

petals of awareness
bleeding,
drip from hands
bound with uncertainty
this world shall not be diminished

I have nothing,
not even words of pristine love

Read the rest of the poem Show less

insoluble in the sea....
like Lot's wife I can't turn back
to see my utter devastation
on the ground of my being
dying into what is,

how clever this art of self-sacrifice
how brilliant its light.

"This is quite brilliant! Nothing wrong here but just a small suggestion: You could shorten the title to "Steps into The Unknown", But its all up to you. Nice work!"
