    Poem Commentary

    Just my thoughts on a reoccurring dream/nightmare, that I continue to have in waking hours.

    Relapse of Loss
    Again you appear 
    just to go away once more
    Why must my soul be tortured
    Why must my heart call for you
    Why must you, come back at all
    do you find pleasure 
    in the pain you bring
    Is it my Weakness? 
    Your reassurance of power.
    Something you have to do 
    to be whole in your own way
    I can never cease
    being your emotional toy
    my heart allows you to play
    my mind tells me go
    My soul told me NO!
    Again you appear, 
    just to go away once more.

    Why must my soul be tortured?
    Why must my heart call for you?
    Why must you, come back at all?

    Do you find pleasure ,
    in the pain you bring.

    Is it my Weakness? 
    Your reassurance of power.

    Something you have to do, 
    to be whole in your own way

    I can never cease,
    being your emotional toy,
    my heart allows you to play.

    My mind tells me go.
    My soul told me NO!

    The age old battle between the heart and the mind. Seems the heart generally wins out. 1o from me.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
