Release Me

by Sunshine   Dec 6, 2011


From the sieges around me
from the dust that's choking me
from every drop drowning me
release me from my thoughts.

Release me from the headaches
from the heartaches,
and the chains, from the
monster in my garden
that escaped from my youth!

Release me from the repetition
in my words, but I keep chasing
freedom just to end up again
at the entry of the road.

I am but a kiss of salt in the sea,
the sun dries the hell out of me
just to molten again like a
pathetic fish beneath its shore,
at times waves of chaos
swallow me back into
the deep "black" core...

where I drown again, begging
for despair, to release me...release me

for 5 minutes, or more!

    Wow, Nana this poem is amazing. I love the repetition of "release me" .. it really shows the depth of how much this person needs to be liberated, and released from the thoughts or pain. I love the opening stanza, and this part especially
    "release me from my thoughts,
    and do not feed me yours
    because mine already hurt."

    -- I love the personification of the thoughts, 'do not feed me yours'

    The second stanza was so eye-opening as well... I like the idea of this monster in the garden, which indicates that this heartache came from somewhere close, possibly someone living in the same home.

    I also loved this line "I am but a kiss of salt in the sea" ... I just love it! The kiss of salt in the sea... making it sound bitter, salty... it was just a lovely metaphor to read!

    You have no idea what this is - I will tell you... this is a brilliantly written poem, with amazing imagery, but also deep emotions. Great job my friend :)
