After the revelation

Batman inspired me. I kid you not.

Would you say its too late?
Do I continue this charade?
A never ending drama of lies
And the time quickly flies.

Would you believe me even so,
After everything you did saw.
A room reeking with deceit
And a tide of trust recedes...

I step out into this darkness
Never expecting light
To guide me, nevertheless
I did expect restored sight.

I did not expect your trust
I did not expect to rust
In decay, stuck in this rut
Of my own from a world shut.

I did not expect you to follow
It wasn't something I'd allow
I did not want to have to hide
With only time by my side to bide

And should I flee?
Should I stay?
And where do I flee
From my fate where it lay?

Your words, as I read them, come at me from every angle, hitting me with unexpected jabs and surprise uppercuts... another interesting poem, my friend. Thoroughly enjoyed.

the chris nolan batman? it is one of the best action series ever created... amazing moments of revelation.. where can we flee, if our fate is here we should stand to face it.. the dark is where we can find ourselves, we are from both...

I am actually a big fan of the bats :-) I use to read the comics and watch the tv series from a very young age. He was truly an epic character! And yes, Chris Nolan has portrayed the dark knight well. I agree one has to embrace ones fate, things that occurs by plan or by happenstance. We tend to look back at the path we're taking and thinking about the 'road more travelled' but then life goes on.

What an awesome inspiration! And I believe you! There is a haunting sense of darkness struggling with the light... the whispered cries of a life wanting to find freedom.

I couldn't have said it better myself! :-) Thank you for your wonderful review!

[Jason Dyer]

Sounds like a very personal experience here. Hopefully writing about it the way you are expedites the healing process.

[Hanhil]

It was personal. But it was a long time ago and I've definitely healed now. The problem didn't get solved..but it kind of faded into the background. But thanks for the concern :-)
