Fear - The Phantom (POETRY SLAM COMPETITION, WEEK 3)

in #dsound7 years ago (edited)


Fear the phantom Unfolds unseen- Hidden within the depths of life’s dream

The master illusionist
Cunningly wild
Tricks tender love
Into sad self-denial

Fear the phantom
Stalking its prey
Inducing amnesia
To keep peace at bay

Talking in riddles
Despising all truth
Wrenching the gut
Like the hangmans tight noose

Fear the phantom
The Dance of deceit
Twisting a notion
Into sad self-belief

Embedding a longing
Casting the gaze
Upon the horizon
Where promises lay

Fear the phantom
The voice of denial
Screams out in danger
And bitter betrayal

But fear is a phantom
We all can destroy
By welcoming silence
Recognising the joy

Living in wonder
Seizing love’s power
Cherishing beauty
No fear can devour.

Fear is a phantom
Dwelling in the dark
Dispelled by the magic
Of each open heart.

El miedo es un fantasma que todo lo devora y todo lo cubre de negro, @kriptoe. Pero como bien escribes, ese fantasma puede ser destruido con la alegría. Los miedos van carcomiendo como un cáncer, multiplicándose y matando de a poco. Apostemos por despojarnos de esos miedos y comencemos a vivir. Excelente poema y excelente reflexión. Saludos

Gracias, es muy amable de su parte decirlo.
Siento que el miedo es una condición que se puede abordar con un poco de voluntad de ver lo que realmente está sucediendo. Gracias por leer.

This is nice. I love this piece, had to deal with fear a couple of times but got over it.
