Roaming miserably in castle of
her heart
Overflown by darkness
of disbelief
and vanity
Piled up with stuff
of illusion
and complex
Floor of jealousy
and roof
of doubt
Burning her soul
with flame so
loud
Ready with defense
for unexpected invasion
Holding tools don’t
promise salvation
Hate’s dagger hidden
behind
The shield of
dissimulation
Net of jeopardy her best carnation
Tricks are chain
and confusion is
cuff
Treachery is robe
she use often
rough
Windows and doors
are closed so
tight
To come through
is impossible for
light
With blindness covered
are bits of
holes
God has abounded
a darkened soul
Wondering why still so fear ???
In my hands
though strongest
spear
Time flown by
and years
passed
To the lonely
castle no one
crossed
Baked in oven
of self-indulgence
Almost dead in
well of ignorance
One day she
thought herself Lost
Overwhelming scenery and
cherished breeze
Within few moments
she learnt to
breath
Flying birds and
butterflies
Invited her to
see sunrise
Sat on rock
and focused on
Rays
Suddenly it seemed
cleared all ways
Ocean of light
within her splashed
Took out all
the trivial trash
Castle washed and
illuminated soul
Determined to remain as
light and free
Only two things
she had to
keep
"Faith " and "Love " to live with
ease
Nothing else could be SOURCE
TO PEACE !
If with these two life
is feed
Happiness will follow
her always indeed
:)
The best things in life are simple and free!
ReplyDeleteFaith and love indeed:) What a beautiful poem!!!
ReplyDeleteyou write beautifully
ReplyDeleteBeautiful indeed, dearest Baili!!
ReplyDeleteI am drawn into your words...feel them with my heart...and store them in my Soul.
Oh thank you so, so much...for injecting such magic into my day!😊😊
All my love and hugs, always ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I like the way the metaphors just roll off each line.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem. I am glad she found faith and love.
ReplyDeleteA dark soul took in light and redeemed itself. There is always hope.
ReplyDeleteDear Baili, it is so true that when we open ourselves--crack open our stony hearts and minds--to love and faith and I would add "trust," we find the contentment that has always eluded us. It is pure gift. It is not come when we try to grasp. Peace.
ReplyDeletedear Dee spirit polluted with so much negative energy can hardly know that "how tastes the love ,faith and specially trust" because to trust someone one has quality of to be trustworthy :)
Deletei so agree peace does not come when you try to achieve it
but when you try to deliver it :)
Lovely, lovely. Finding faith and then love is the part that fills the soul.
ReplyDeleteYour poetry is always so musical to my ear, baili. Beautiful!
ReplyDeletebeautiful!
ReplyDeleteBaili, that was wonderful. You DEFINITELY could have been writing a poem about me and my life before and after burnout. I had ever "toy" and "gadget"...I was working 100 hours a week, I wanted more and more and more...but seeking more left me empty. I learned the hard way! After burnout, I discovered (after a long decade of recovery) that the simple, minimal things in life, are worth so much more and are so much more rewarding. Lovely poem! :) xx
ReplyDeleteDear Rain I am deeply sorry for your tough part of life !!!
DeleteNo doubt we learn through hardships and difficulties more instead of laying in our comfort zone and this process is part of plan that nature has within for our growth as humans
I had known and I still observe such pitiable people who suffer with such horrible and painful way of thinking
While writing this poem I put myself in their shoes and believe me it was hard to breath!
I still think that you are being hard on yourself.
Things happen to all and it doesn't mean it was your fault my wonderful friend!
So true, thank you! :)
DeleteLove the happy ending!
ReplyDeleteVery nice Baili
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
