of shadow and shade

Summary:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnkTuHP9q3o&list=RDVgurldoZISI&index=3
my mortality before me I prepare an offering
cataloging and willingly admitting my sin
held tight to the dark artist of my soul, there is conflict
with aspirations to the light I am betwixt two worlds
and I can't reconcile

my spirit is shaded with too much shadow
magic of the dawn behold your daughter
whose keening hurt is as such

do I yet please
or am I an accursed creature
formed before the Earth to be an instrument of destruction

does not the knife love also the sheath, for its protection
in my way I am wicked but I am kind
oh Father what have you to do with me
in my slumberous state I cause chaos

now this journey is coming to a close
what shall be my next chapter
in your stead I request

my Father of nature
creator of us all
shadowed and shaded too
in my death house weep for stronger days

    1. Hoi Chère C.,

      If I may quote you:
      in my slumberous state I cause chaos

      Don’t we all?
      I embrace the thought in real life.
      There’s nothing more tedious or boring than perfection.

      So:
      in my slumberous state I cause chaos
      Is the cherry on the cake.
      Just my opinion.

      À lovely write!
      Kind regards, Gus

    2. Fantastic spill, my friend! May Arawn hear your darksome call and be your lantern into Annwfn. Not just yet though, we need more of your beautiful melancholy. Excellent poem as always.

    3. There is NO SIN in being a woman, none. If there is SIN, it is brought about by the burdens placed on women in a male dominated, patriarchal system and society. It’s a strange evolutionary process that a biological difference (having babies) became the source of oppression.

      While I applaud the artistic value of this poem, its sadness, its flow, and metaphor, I am also torn in that there should be no sacrifice made. Instead, there should be a head held high acceptance of the chaos, of celebrating joining the chaos made by all of us as human beings, and we are a chaotic bunch.

      Crimsin, I hope I have not trampled all over your poem’s garden, it’s just that women are not evil or gods, just human. And certainly not for sacrifice.
