Troubling Journey (A Poem)


Troubling Journey 

Brilliantly on you own 
comprehensibly lost within another day
Cursed by blind fate to lose all that is dear
A military man at sea for over 120 months 

Post-traumatic loss 
Greed turning his peers into pitiful swine 
No choice but to make a great sacrifice and honour
Lost a year being in love with a dangerous remedy

I broke my mothers heart
When I had given my heart and loyalty to country 
I missed her last breath and received her final warning
Beware the touch of a femme fatale in the shadows 

For she shall sing 
A song to seduce men into the dangers of beckoning rocks  
We must sometimes tie ourselves to the mast to remain 
Some must have trust in those while being willfully blind

Then we lost 
caught at sea, the guns blazing as the sun was rising 
I knew we shouldn't have taunted fate with arrogant banter 
Some hunts are never worth taking as I brutishly interpreted 

Morphemically simple
I lost myself into an old love who become my femme fatale 
Seven years unrecoverable on the island that was within 
Inexplicably disoriented with the knowledge I singularly survived

Unpretentiously vague  
Every overseer must revert himself to an apostle in order to lead himself 
I learned to let myself go and to be revived by those that I once loved
It seems you can tell a path a man walks by looking closely at his soles

Dejectedly suited 
Only way to remind her of that olive tree planted in our beating hearts
was to remind her why she adamantly rejected those bustling suitors
That she tore their hearts with the arrows of her youth for a reason 

The Vengeful dreams 
If only those Images could be freed from my over stimulated cranium 
Post Traumatic stress disorder is always in-order when I fall asleep  
Deus Ex machina. why does it only exist in the greek tragedies?
