Dazed

Dazed

A Poem by M.Kilani

Dazed, lost and confused
Help me; will you father
Trapped in rejoice; being used
And I ask myself "why bother"

I found god a thousand night ago
And five hundred days more
The goddess that I will never know
The endless inner war

As my scratches on skin fade
As I convince myself I didn't fail
As I doubt the choices I made
The sun shines on that finger nail

I was given something to believe
A faith that tells me it's not true
An angle that refuses to leave
Claims a hand in all that I do

With marks on skin now I'm lift
No coffee to drink, no cigarette
Lip stick on my empty cup
On my wine glass and the cigarette tip 

Was I a lair
I tamed my desire
Made home my other cage
And my pen has lift the page 

Show me god once again
A cigarette under the rain 
Falling into my wine 
Easing the heart of mine 

And make me disbelieve
Or make that angle turn and leave
Bring me back my agony
Of searching for my destiny

Still I'm dazed, still confused
All them spells I've never used
And the curse roaming over my head
An angle ties me by a thread

My fair maiden don't you cry
I fear not what you deny
Shun't I lament, nor be sad
For stone is the heart if not in your hand

seems like there is a deeper story in this - it hints at some self loathing - scratches on skin - struggling at faith - desiring the "goddess" "Stone is the heart if not in your hand" that is a powerful line.

Easy to get dazed by the world. Hard to regain faith and hope again. I like the desire of the poem. To be able to find peace and calm again. Thank you for sharing your outstanding poetry and thoughts.
