My Confessions: Here Am I, The Man Who Said I Am; For The Love Of A Woman
“We are never so defenseless against suffering as when we love.”
Sigmund Freud
This poem was born in the deep silence of my long-suffering heart; not amid joy. Suffering! I owe to it all that is good in me, all that gives value to my life; I owe to it pity, I owe to it courage, I owe to it all the virtues, and I owe to it this poem.
My writing is nothing, my thinking is everything. I am a thinker with writing problems..!!!

*Avant-Garde Art*, Immortal Love, Live and Let Live, Living Pages , Rage, Self Expression, The Community of Erotic Submission (approval required), The New Beat Generation, The Red Writing Room, Universal Innovation and Writing: Persuing HappinessI am the dead rose, I am your grief
I am the ravaged garden, I am your belief
I am the pangs of the jealous, your cruel chain
I am the pain of the sick; I am both cloud and rain.
I am the wind that conveys, your fortress frontier
I am the fingers that grip, your sour fear
I am the glow of the ashes, your broken crown
I am the dark mansion; I am the drag down.
I am the gloomy captive, your condemnation cell
I am the blind romantic, your forsaken spell
I am the dull, the sad, and the unearthly strain
I am the misery, the grief; I am the dungeon of pain.
I am your tarot card, your exile, and your malady apart
I am your ruler, your desire, and your lust undefiled
I am your season of fetters, and your cup of inspiration
I am your ravished mind; I am the mystical meditation.
I am your secret, your dwelling, and your kingdom
I am your hypocrisy, your insolence, and your wisdom
I am slay-fade- perish-diminish-break and fall
I am your dark truth; I am the fire temple that burns all.
I am your pale earthly pictures, your path, and your divine impotence
I am your proper verbal noun, your logic, and your free-will ignorance
I am your movement, your midnight moan, and your darkness
I am your opposition, your sad music; I am the madness.
I am your color, your captive, and your fresh meat
I am your courage, your image, and your heartbeat
I am your true measure, your key, and your history
I am your genetic code, your shackles; I am the victory.
I am your scars, your battles, and your mediocrity
I am your trophy, your triumph, and your authority
I am your warrior, and your constitution
I am your armor; I am the revolution.
I am your earthquake, and your nervous break down
I am your tremors, and your mighty shakedown
I am your hero, your ridicule, and your bad luck
I am your flame, your veil; I am the WOW fuck.
I am your sweet harm, the delicious privilege, and your fury
I am your sea crest, the feathers of your nest, and your glory
I am your master plan, and your civilization
I am your only pleasure; I am the elation.
I am Genghis khan in your garden of Zen
I am before, after, now and then
I am the lone man in your beast’s den
I am the wild beast among all men.
I am the pharaoh of dictionary
I am the emperor of rhymes, and the commander-in-speech,
I am the king of poetry
I am the sultan of words, and the monarch of lexis you can never impeach.

Love often renders the most clever man a fool, and even sometimes renders the most foolish man clever…!

you are awesome…fantastic writing…enjoyed the music too:)
imagineering replied
In the lover’s heart there is an abundance of passions; so that the ruin of one is almost always the foundation of another…!
Thank you for taking the time to read, listen, reflect and write. Your words are always appreciated and anticipated, Robin….

There is real love just as there are real ghosts; every person speaks of it, few persons have seen it…!

Dear passionate one, I can interpret this poem like this: Love is like a medicine that cures your pain and suffering, at the same time it comes with side effects which this poem testifies to so clearly. Indeed, these are some if not all the side effects of love..!
Also, if I may, I read this confession as an excuse to all the pain caused by your love, letting your loved one know, that she knows the pain and suffering caused by you. I can’t also help feeling that you have possession of her heart, and no matter the side effects, the medicine of love will be taken each day, at the same time, before or after a meal for the sake of loving and being loved. Love this poem, and its side effects!
imagineering replied
If there is a pure love, exempt from the mixture of our other passions, it is that which is concealed at the bottom of the heart and of which even ourselves are ignorant…!
It is difficult to define love; all we can say is, that in the soul it is a desire to rule, in the mind it is a sympathy, and in the body it is a hidden and delicate wish to possess what we love, ifeel…!!!

Amazing work!

If we judge of love by the majority of its results it rather resembles hatred than friendship…!
It is amazing that you find this amazing, Kat…
