Sanctuary

Sanctuary

Floral heady scents waft in my head, 

Slowly up to my sanctuary I tread, 

As I enter my meditation  place,

A feeling of peace caresses my face. 

The candlelit scene calms my soul,

Escaping from life, in societies fish bowl.

I submerge my self in my scented elixir,

Craving the feeling of soft downy cashmere 

I anoint my body in luxurious potions, 

Then gently massage with expensive lotions.

As warm steam embraces my being, 

The worries and woes of the day begin thinning. 

Cleansed both in spirit, soul and mind 

As with the bath water the days demons left behind. 

For this self indulgent vanity,

Is the saviour for my sanity!

Many thanks for the award I'm delighted to accept it
I would like to nominate Ice queen http://myfrozenworld.wordpress.com/2011/07/01/my-journey-to-life/

Final Insult

Final Insult 

Today was the day I was stripped bare, 

Cruel words you said as if you didn't care, 

You verbally whipped every part of my soul,

Torturing my heart till it ran cold. 

So here you leave me all alone! 

My spirit dying! 

No longer on my throne, 

Mentally crying! 

Cos of the love of another you've shown. 

The void that you've left never to be filled, 

For every sweet feeling, I ever had you have killed, 

Anger, Sorrow, Hate is all I can feel. 

So here you leave me all alone, 

My spirit dying! 

No longer on my  throne, 

Mentally crying !

Cos of the love of another you have shown. 

Tender words or a soft caress, 

Can't heal or make my pain less, 

Forever to live in this perpetual nightmare,

So whose to blame for stripping me bare? 

You the one who promised he'd always care!

So here I am all alone, 

My spirit dead! 

No longer on my throne, 

My tears all shed 

Cos of the love of another you've been shown

For a poem inspired by a song ...Tainted Love by Soft Cell inspired this !
