He Laughs At Me Briony Carvalho
He laughs at me
He controls me
I open my eyes and see glimmering choices
A distant destiny forming in my mind
A thousand paths converging on a misty future
He flicks the light off and I’m lost
Deciding my fate with fumbling hands
Groping for the nearest path the softest touch
Dragging my tortured soul blindly
He laughs again
Showering me with light
I blink, focus and discover my choice
Blind fumblings of lust
Realising the facts
He never helps since I hurt him
Broke him into a million pieces
Hid him away for years
The heart is a fickle child

"Very appealing choice of words, paticuarily the mood shift in the last stanza " -- kw.
"Thank you - think it needs some work but glad you like it - your turn now!" -- Briony.
"for some reason i can't seem to get a review to come up, i tried it from a different computer, maybe this will work. wonder if i've been banned or have been given a time out. i guess i could go sit in a corner for a bit, maybe that'd work. in any event, should this go through, i'll join k in saying this was cool. doesn't hurt a bit seeing the pic either. (hummmm, maybe it's my sexist remarks that get me in trouble)" -- curious.
"Hey Curious, thanks for the review...glad you liked it...not my normal thing but needed to post to get back in the flow after a break. Glad you liked the pic too ;)" -- Briony.
