Away // Forward

Away
Edging closer to the distortion,
Life has never seemed so displeasing.
Never atoned, not apt at releasing.
And if I,
If I could walk away from it all,
I'd nearly dare...
Stuttering at the startling
Fact of the matter,
So pleasing.
I hunger only for the healing,
And all that has been revealing
It's self
It's self to me
So If
If I could walk away from it all,
I'd nearly dare...
Brittle is the steel
Tear-stained endlessly,
Buckling as becoming flimsy,
The dam positively bursting.
And If I,
If I could walk away
Walk away from it all
I wouldn't dare.
Might be nerve racking,
The truth difficult for extracting,
My emotions worn from the expansive contracting;
But no I,
I could not walk away
I hunger only for the healing,
This has all been so revealing,
Understanding now that,
My own two feet carry me steadily
Away.

Well done for your first time out! Keep going my friend!
Wow, thanks everyone. The picture is something random. I just went to images.google.com and typed "away." haha, it worked. ;)
I am thankful for your ears, and hope to post more stuff soon!
This is very beautiful...and no, I could never walk away either...wanted to a few times in this life, but on my feet, I go forward. :D
Keep it up k@ri, we'll all walk together. =D
back again on a quiet sunday morning, to enjoy once again your words, love the poem on the profile page also.... thanks for sharing
Thank you Brenda, I always appreciate such great words. =) I apologize for not kicking anything out as of late; working on centering myself to provide readers with more uplifting poetry than I have been publishing.
just found out you are, i am Brenda Scully, as if you did not know and have been here before it seems........ going to see if you have any up to date poetry.
I don't have much right now. http://hubpages.com/hub/Bite-the-Wax-Tadpole-and-o
There's the latest montage of some stuff I'm working on. Been writing a novel, too.
Here's the background story of the main character, Timothy Seer: http://hubpages.com/hub/Echoes-of-Past-Tim-Part-I
And if you go to GeneriqueMedia's profile and look for "The Greatest Con," you'll see what I've completed thus far before first edit. :)
(whoops, sorry, a little bleed over, eh? I forgot to sign in under osci.)
Hopfuly the emotional retraction doesn't thin out along the way ocilationatend;)
"Brittle is the steel
Tear-stained endlessly"-
GREAT imagery,it speaks volumes! The verse, "edging closer to distortion"- it makes me think of getting further from something, since things from afar become distorted... which is what going "away" can be described as. I'm not sure if that's what you meant to say, but I interpreted it that way... the fact that it is so interpretable is what makes it great poetry. Nicely done, keep writing what you feel, the best writing is from the soul, whether uplifting or gut wrenching. Some of the best works were the most depressing. The darker emotions are often times the deepest...and make for great writing!
TruthAwake--
Thank you so much for your appreciation of my work. That is I guess what I was describing; I write with words, see in pictures, paint with both. Or something.
I don't particularly write poetry much anymore; I've lost volumes, and will I'm sure in time replace them with better works.
But the occasional doodle pens out. ;)
I hope to explore your work, too, but I am a busy bee with no way to distort time. So until I get more time off eBay, or create a mechanism to distort time, I'm afraid a following will have to suffice.
Thanks again. Your name leads me to believe your work will be equally great. :)
Namaste.
