Power in none

Oh the ease of it all

How trivial it was

The decline and the rise

Set to teach lessons to those who will weep

Set to remind the secrets we keep

Deep black of curtains drawn in the night

Coil of the snake, ready to pounce

I laugh at the danger

Welcome him in

Come be my friend, release me from sin

And now, where are we

What new games afoot

Instruction illusive

Here comes the soot

How easy now

To do what I'd have done

There is strength in the action

There is power in none.

This is a truly sad poem when you feel as if there is no one to help no one who has the power to make life easier or to end the pain that has been placed in your life. You have described this so emotionally well. the ending really makes the whole poem shine with your meaning.

I like the mystery of this. It gives me a feeling, but I am not sure exactly what is happening and I know that I am not supposed to. It is a privileged glimpse into your world. It is a very good write.

Hey, great write. Quite fun to read and a little of the game 'cluedo' resides in these lines. Talented writing..thanks for posting.

This is an enigmatic piece of writing, maintaining interest with the thoughts and images - the black curtains, the snake, the soot... I decided it was about a tricky relationship that has not delivered... Intriguing
