Dance, puppet

Personal growth achieved through wandering down an undersirable alleyway

These words that spill

from my heart

with ease

come with the promise

of catharsis

and self forgiveness

 

As even knowing now

that 18 days have passed

since I last held your gaze

I feel pride in knowing

that even if our book has

ended

This new experience has spawned

a new beginning

within myself

 

One where I am culpable

flawed, juvenile, errant

Where my clandestine affairs

with my own psyche are

bared and on display

Where I allow myself to feel

and I do not feel shame

in crying

 

I am broken, but I am alive

Having regained control of a new

handful of marionette strings

 

 

Reviews

[Poeticpiers]

Beautifully concieved and delivered in well written poetic prose. All new beginnings are based on something ending from which we learn

[Seracies]

All about the journey. I liked that it ended with a real happiness, that did not come without trials. Very nicely done.
