Ashes (part 2)

Sweeping up the ashes, that lay abandoned upon the hearth
The poetess  emptys them into an old tin can
She is not sure wether to keep them
or to throw them to the wind in fury
For they alone are responsible for
Her sleepless nights
and vivid dreams
There are secrets  she dares not share
Upon a wall with so many ears
Blood curdling emermies
Demons so real
Claws stretched hoping to find her weakness
She hears the whisper of a memory and
All becames clearer  
She takes back the falsity she bestowed upon her being
As it could not possibly  help her now
She would learn first to be true to herself
All that lies just  beyond the vally of hopelessness
is leaving her minds eye
Now my child , my poetess , my heart , my soul
on the dragons back you must  climb
Only yourself can save you from the ashes
That were born from the fire within your heart
And away
Away she flew from all the confusion
She realised now was not in her heart
But in the heart of another
Do not transfix her with your screwed up visions
Of a world without love
Without the very understanding
Of what lies at the base of all human existence  
She will not this day share bread with the devil
For her soul is no longer in excile
But flying high above you
The poetess is free
Within lifes breath there is a beauty that only artists and poets are granted to see .. im am grateful to my soul for freeing me from the restraints of others

She will not this day share bread with the devil...there are so many wonderful lines here Pebbles, Lines to steal as titles, beautifully written.
And I won't pinch the titles, but bugger they would be good ;o)
