INSTINCT
It's another day
You survived the long night
See the sun
And to the right -- the moon
While it's light
You go on with your life
But it'll be dark soon
When again, you will leave your safe cocoon
To feed your desire -- to stop the fire
Consuming your flesh
Burning your blood
The rush is on -- you can't stop
It's like trying to clean up a flood
With a sponge & mop
If only you could halt time
Or turn it back
To when you first stepped off track
Could then your tears cease
Maybe your anger -- your pain
Quick! You're in danger
Outside your cage
Don't think about it too long
Follow your instinct -- stay strong
Only after you feast
Can you control the beast
And sleep
=====
NOTE: I was reading a vampire novel when I took pen in hand. It goes with the story and kind of how I feel sometimes. And just in case someone is wondering, stepping off track isn't about being a lesbian. There are times when things change in life and it happens without conscious thought. This poem was written over a decade ago. But it could apply right now, seeing that I'm in a rut as I write this note. I don't know exactly when or how it happened. And how do I get out -- make a change?
NOTICE BOARD
Hi SPT readers. I haven't posted anything new in several months. I don't want to post about political issues so until I'm inspired with something new or finish a story ....
Feel free to post comments about something you have read at SPT because I do like hearing from my readers even if it is just a hello. I don't put up my email address because I already get mail from people trying to sell me Viagra which goes straight to the Junk box. :) I do receive notification when someone has made a comment at SPT and I will respond as soon as I can. Thank you for visiting. -S
The Agenda-Civil Rights
Support for the LGBT Community: While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of
LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It's about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect. Federal law should not discriminate in any way against gay and lesbian couples. ... young & old, rich & poor, democrat & republican, black white hispanic asian native american gay straight disable and not disable ... we are and always will be the United States of America. --
