Forbidden To Break

  Imagination, now a sharp pendulum.
Slicing rhythmically at my surface calm.
Each pass a torturous vision...

...your limbs entwined with beauty, 
far surpassing mine...

Each breath seems to capsize,
an amorous torrent.  ~ unwanted ~

Absorbed within this pang,
the corruption of each sense...
~common, diluted by the others~

~**~

My soul, now bottled,
to silence the weeping...

~now just a mother of three~

forbidden to break,
to find my missing peace.

A breeze un-felt,
dances through autumn's art,

the view seems maudlin
or maybe its my eyes,
syphoned dry....

    These thoughts and feelings play familiar. I identify with this path, and the need to muster courage and strength to forge ahead. They are uncertain times, but times that build strength and show a woman's worth.

    That wealth lies within - rest assured. You have written well beauty, strong and powerful and real.

    Sad take on love, where one no longer feels it, having to be strong for the children when you yourself just wants to break down and say 'enough is enough'.

    Best of luck to you with this.

    I love the title of this...and the pendulum slicing at surface calm...moments are so hard when we feel like crying, but need to hold it together in front of children...
    i feel the sadness in this greatly...
