March 06 freedomLove will set you free.
A beautiful romantic adage that’s nothing more than a seductive fiction. Narciccism seems more apt to set you free-
flitting through your own world,unfettered and unaffected, choices moving no other. Love binds us, keeps us tethered to the one we’ve given our heart to, curbs the impulses and desires which would tear us from them, halts our individuality lest it should offend and cause rejection. Compromise and sacrifice; such are the shackles of love. A beautiful, secure cage that stays our flight into the unknown, and keeps us from singeing our wings in stormy skies.

I feel it's stricture
holding me in~ harsh limits of obligation stifling in its expectation, the ardour of my spirit Restless stirrings nudge the lid admit a chink of light~ piercing my darkness, a moment of hope illumed, a taste of narcissitic indulgence, a breath of freedom consumed Excluded swiftly the glimmer too brief
my ashen muse lies unstirred~
slow embers crouch impassive
the fire of creation smothered,
inspiration breathless in the vacuum of tedium Infinite constraint
the barriers of conformity~
duty, need, love, security
close the lid back down, censor me. Elusive wit,
creative liberty~ none are mine monochrome reality. |
