GOLDEN FLEECE

bow unstable, arrow heads rusted
I am lost in search of my golden fleece
I have wavered on sustenance
tarred and feathered covenants
doubts increasing with every step

into the darkest depths
I have waged the wars
this land and ashore for
the momentary prize
I have closed my eyes to love and life
to travel with bread and bloodied knife
on the road I have taken,
the fools path...
for I suffer,
but not of Gods wrath

tearless in pride
I cast his gifts aside
dark in my depths
only shadow resides

your title was simple but it really caught my attention..
The Golden Fleece , one from the Greek mythology
the poem was smooth..i love reading it over and over ..
well honestly im really a fan of Percy Jackson and it reminded me
of their adventure on Book II Sea of Monsters..

Love the ending, it ties everything together quite nicely. Loved your analysis here.

Nice tight piece. I like the over all framing, the flow of rhyme, the halcyon feel to it. Sometimes they just write themselves, don't they?

Blinded by pride..it gets us every time.. sight given and lost. Well expressed emotions.. I feel the loss deeply and the resignation of belief.. x
