Chimera

by MyHalozChokinMe   Nov 10, 2012


~This was a challenge issued by my favorite Tree, the objective was to relay, in our words, a dream of ours, to then later scribe a poem, choosing from several options, a discipline to follow. We then had to incorporate both our vision of our dream and the poem we created, into one form. This was my end result. Thank you Andrea for always pushing me farther than I really want to go with my writes~

Chimera
Form: Dodoitsu Slaughter

I used to dream of using my voice to
make an impact on people.

(Soft tones are better for whispering.)

When my voice failed me, I turned to
purging my manic tribulations onto paper.

(Surrender to the high; Metaphoric trip.)

At 35, I find myself only wanting to
free myself from my past and move on.

(Dear Agony: Please let go of me.)

Not to forget the events that have
shaped me, but to find a somewhat
sadistic appreciation for them,
because really, those events have
pushed me to where I stand today.

(Fully erect, I scream)

Tasting the truest freedom
Hearts carved by wisdom and truth
Embracing the winds of change
Living without fear

I only wish to dedicate the remainder
of my time to use what I formerly
viewed as my weaknesses-

(LOVING RECKLESSLY, my TRUTH, my CONVICTIONS,)

to raise my daughters to love the same,
not to be afraid of allowing happiness
to rule, to truly honor their own lives
and the lives of those around them.

(A grateful heart is most honorable.)

To share the joy of my life, my beautiful
girls and the beauty of this freedom I've
discovered with the man that has opened my
eyes and heart, reminding me that I was
made to love with no limits-

To write the rest of my days with my twin flame.

(Love does not claim possession but gives freedom.)

    This is still a lullaby to me...

    And I'm gunna give breaking it down ago tomorrow, when I get my laptop back.... You may want to get a gun ready.. As I may screw up lol

    Edit; Right,

    This is what I see...

    I used to dream of touching people with song...
    As music is a great passion of mine and it moves me in ways you can not imagine...
    but things didn't pan out as I'd hoped.
    Now I use my voice to hum the tranquil melodies or tempestuous notes, to set the tone for my cerebral lyric explosions, as I grace paper with a pen.

    Now at 35 years of age, I find myself wanting the simple things of life...
    Yet longing for the simplicity of this dream, has proven a long hard journey.
    Letting go of a past that has moulded and shaped the person I am today...

    Haunted by the other DNA in my beautiful girls...
    Whilst trying to bring them up, to love, honour and respect themselves... And there own lives, as much as the people that surround them.

    I'd never truly felt accepted for everything that I am...
    Just pushed, pulled and prodded to conform, to the point of feeling alienated in my own skin...
    I longed to feel love, at peace and at home with myself.

    You, I never saw coming!!
    You, I didn't want to believe!!
    But you, took a beaten soul, with a cold cynical shielded heart... And ignited a fire!
    A fire so ferocious, it has made my entire being glow.
    You've made me see, I'm not my monstrous title...
    That I am worthy of being loved;
    and by doing so...
    You've given me the courage to show I have so much love to give in return.

    You reminded me that I am worthy of my dreams...simple or not,
    and being me is more than enough.
    By loving my heart, you freed me...

    .... I look forward to writing the rest of OUR chapters together.

      Natasha-

      This time, it is I that sits here with a smile on my face.

      Your uncanny, freakish ability to understand me rings true in your interpretation of my write.

      You've managed to sum up all the bits and pieces that sat unsaid in between the lines of my metaphoric rambling, broke right through the poetic defense mechanism that I am so accustomed to using.

      Truly, I am amazed by you.

      You are one of two people that have managed to bring me to tears, and I love you and hate you for it at the same time. (Meant in the best possible way.)

      <3

      EDIT: I meant to mention last night, that you are the only person that connected the metaphoric dots between the title of this poem and "my monster."
