Sagacious Submission - a poem

 Sagacious Submission 

 

I will never bend  

I shall never move 

Strength will leave me first 

This stand I make will prove 

 

All sagacity held firm 

I sense what you are doing 

My soul rejects all lures 

My veins pulse with fury 

 

Brave my heart holds guard 

Not moving, no allotment 

Stay from me – be gone 

The tearing is but torment 

 

Wisdom, insight, vision 

What good are these tonight 

Love has tricked my very core 

So lost in you, my plight 

 

Given to the fear of loss 

Abduction from within 

Loosen these, damned lover’s chains 

Forced to yield again
