Standing in Stone

You are caught in his grip

The stone's vice like clutch

There's nowhere to go

No progress can be made

You are under his spell

It is pumping through your veins

A monster looks through your eyes

You have the power to change it

But you go along with it all

A passive puppet on stone strings

You place him on a pedestal

He can do no wrong

And all I can do is watch

As stone begins to encompass your very soul

Changing before my eyes

You love him

You are standing in stone

I don't know. Love and stone should not be in the same sentence. Love support to open the spirit and create great dreams. Your words tells of a ownership and control. A very interesting tale in your words. Love making us into stone. A interesting logic.

This was an enjoyable piece, filled with creative expression. It's not easy to watch one we desire become enraptured with another, I think you captured the emotions well in this poem.

Wow! I love it... absolutely loooove it!

Watching someone we love being taken over and closed off by someone who is not good for them is one of the most difficult things to see. Love can be so powerful and all encompassing that we ignore the bad ..pretend we don't see it. But the ones who love us can see...

Fantastic write... keep writing you have a great talent :)
