Madness

Keep me-
Breathe life into me;
Capture me,
For otherwise I will flee
To another world-
To a world my own;
To a world I may
Call home.
Save me
From myself,
For I am deadly
To those around me;
Shelter me
Lest I go insane-
Be the thunder,
I the acid rain.
Divinity 
Seems to be
A familiar thing;
Serenity-
Not nearly.
Keep me
From myself,
From my own
Illusions,
From my destructive 
And betraying mind;
Confusion lasts
For but a moment
In this world all my own-
It precedes my madness
Then turns my heart
To one of stone.
Pain-it stays the same,
Numbing my touch
And raised, blue veins
Until there is nothing left
But simple me.
Hide from me
And rescue me
And forgive me-
For I do not realize what I do
Until my madness is through.

The madness is so moving; entrancing in its stunning, stark drive through your words. You stand in a dark place as if being swallowed by the shadows, crying out for help... for a haven.. for a home. An emotionally charged, powerful poem.

[Sarah Marie]

I am thrilled this moved you. I do not often know how others will react to my more emotional poems since I do not have to think about the lines or words-just let them flow and see what they create in the end. I appreciate your review!

[The 13th Eros]

And that is the most honest, stirring poetry... the poetry that flows purely from the heart. More please!

Crying out for help, if only you would hear. Take my hand and lead me, far away from here.
Sarah marie, first off, that is a beautiful name, second, your poem was wonderful. It captured every element of a mind that is confused, but knwoing enough to ask for help and love. very nice, thank you for sharing it with me.

[Sarah Marie]

Why, thank you! Most people only call me Sarah since it is just simpler. I am thrilled you enjoyed this poem and the other one as well! I really appreciate your reviews!
