CASTLED

My heart beats like a one woman army placing ahead, what my mind begs to leave behind...

Casually Drifting in Conflicted Direction, she pushes on
Delivering fake smiles to those who Can’t see and Dismissing the Concerned Chatters of-
“her Demeanor has Changed.” and “the Compassion in her eyes has Disappeared.”
Closed-fisted and with Caution she Coasts through the Disturbed Chambers within her Contour
facing the Disputes that has Defeated her mind and Congested her Chest with Charmed Devotions
Captivated… she tells herself, never again…
Desired Dreams are only Conceived to be Conquered by Distance and Denying’s
Cherished Confidence in a Caress is only a feeling made to Diminish in Despair
Chasing beliefs and fighting for a Common love when odds are against you Can’t be won

Castled-
numb-
Convincing only goes so far when heart Dominates over mind
let go was the Demand... but letting go is the Dilemma

not many let their tears flow so eloquently. no need to apologize.
interesting use of alliteration throughout this piece. not sure if it added or detracted from the emotion, though.

[Echo Nightfield]

I love the clear picture of the emotional and logic clashing. It was done very well. Thank you.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

The heart and mind in an ageless war that will never end. Emotion verses logic will always clash.

[Sourav]

This is a nicely crafted emotional writing. I enjoyed it and especially the way you've described it. The construction of the lines are very impressive. Love it.

Strong statements in this poem. Language and the emotion was amazing. Last lines were classic.
