Confined

Flaring white
while humans cry
sleepless nightmares haunt me this night
Gabriel plagues my dreams
with torturous caresses
and sensual screams
mutilated bodies
Endless, this torture seams
be this the will of my short life?
God, please end my strife
hear me sing
this short prayer
upon deaf ears- become this sinners slayer
Flaring white
burning red
writhing here in my bed
Bloodied limbs don't seam to end
haunting nightmares
Shield my eyes
Gabriel, white angel, plagues my nights
playful touches, lustful sights
Oh please God, end this sinners strife
Take my hand, take my heart
I do not wish to play this part
mutilated bodies
bloodied limbs
tortured screams
Nightmarish imps
Dear God, take away these sins
bare in white, I kneel before you
heart and soul, pure and true
wake me from this nightmare
I've been confined to...

Wow ! A well written verse describing someone tortured and imprisoned within themselves.
If only they really understood there are no sinners to be condemned by God.
God doesn't condemn,instead he Frees.
We condemn ourselves by our thoughts and what we allow ourselves to think."That is where the Hell is"
We can easily believe the lies. The hardest part is realizing we are free. We have the Freedom to choose our thoughts and change what we think and change our reality.
But that takes courage and work. After a while though one by one the chained thoughts break away link by link until we one day are joyously able to see our freedom from that bondage.
To know the real true God is within us and darkness cannot be where there is light.

Yup ! Your writing is your gift. it speaks to you with answers to what so many are seeking. Good Job!

Thank you! You have no idea what that means....in all honesty I've been having dreams and I wrote it...but you are completely right and thank you for understanding

[annalysiar]

Eh people tell me that all the time because of how I think. Act. What I see. They tell you that because they're jealous that you're a flame in this darkening world. Because you stand out and they don't. Its not that they're better than you. Its that they use a vengeful god to control you

Thank you I'm close to this one too...i was in the zone

welcome, yeah....

[gentlekindness]

Wow this is very powerful. Nightmares can haunt us and torment us with our own past and our past sins and the sins of others. The darkness invades the subconscious which brings it to life at night.
Blessings,
Annie

Thank you I'm glad you read it again

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i echo Crying kate's sentiments...this is such a strong poem in the vein of the confessional poets.

[annalysiar]

I do hope you enjoyed this Mr Cilberto...
