The counsellor's listening ear
A sex worker's parted legs
But still so much to fear

The therapist always offers tea
She neglects to make it sweet
I move chairs to map my fragmentation
And so our eyes they never meet

I leave the room no longer drained
My spirits seem quite lifted
Self-esteem no more the problem's root
Maybe the low mood has shifted

I check my mobile with fresh hope
No new messages come in view
So soon I feel low yet again
The signs of progress are so few

I will not depend on anyone
My God I will not name in human tongues
I will go to the River Jordan and strip naked
And let the water fill these barren lungs

The call might come in a still small voice
If the turmoil could just cease
I will meet you one day very soon
And know that inner peace [comments] => 1 [counter] => 998 [topic] => 45 [informant] => TREBOR [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => group )

BLIND DATE OR BLIND FAITH ?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
