Unconditional Surrender

A Poem by TerryDarcy-Ryan akaSheerTerror
"

" Daydreams of black wings and letters folded in lie, follow your abandon "

"
                                                                     


I am a hypocrisy twisting turning from wrong to right

lunacy identifies and claims me while in plain sight

black and white define my movement, I am


Renegade                     

the home I left is shaken, a snow globe scattered soft

one more piece set free in the fragments that remain     

anger crushing calling to jump off the edge, I am


Fury

already deemed a lost cause repeat offender at large

a choir of innocence sings my deception

one last measure for retrospect I confess, I am


Suspect


     my denial is the promise of bliss, a glimpse into oblivion’s empire

                   the fall of the mighty is overkill and gets me nowhere

       survival is the fuel to my star’s fire, brighter than ever, I am


Conviction


                   an unexpected gift, don't you see your betrayal set me free

          daydreams of black wings and letters full of lies, follow your abandon

       the pieces taken for prison are replaced with tenacity     

                                   

       I am, Sheer-Terror   

                                       

                                     



    Terry D’Arcy-Ryan

This is such a unique poem! I love the way it's structured in such melodious, rhythmic way.
The structure with one word assertion between the lines adds a kinetic energy, gathers a momentum, reaches crescendo whilst adding suspense to the overall poem.

WELL DONE

You are quickly becoming one of my favorite poets on here.
Actually, you're there.
You can start fires with words,
Infernoes with your stanzas.
The only thing I regret about this piece, is seeing it on my phone, the first time I read it. The formatting for WC, sucks for Android.

Renegade, Fury, Suspect, Conviction...all this and more are the grown women who have struggled, persisted, fought and lost and fought some more, nurtured their own heartbreaks (children)...all this and more. Really, really like this piece.

I love the darkness & the power in this. We can be so many things yet no single one may define us. We chose which parts will serve us, and which to cast away. Awesome words xxx

I am coach of Crest FC, I heard an investment call: "buy a woman, possess a property
buy a money making machine, work in a baby making factory"
It is the way of a one-man,s business in Isaac's Place"
