STEADY HORSE


I'm just tired of playing around.
All excitement and no safe ground.
I just want a steady horse.
To get rid of all remorse.

I know I'm hard to please.
My mind is not at ease.
My life so far has been a mess.
I'm working on my rootlessness.

My veins are tied, muzzled heart.
All relationships have to part.
I get no good from being alone.
Held hostage in this solitary zone.

I long for things I cannot reach.
It's hard to practice what you preach.
Help me get rid of this remorse.
Will you be my steady horse?

a steady horse is a good metaphore. i love too how your poem 's theme is understood easily and directly.

That steady horse is already with you. It is you. Just hang on and enjoy the ride. It has its up and downs, its fields to plow, its races to run and a nice meadow to graze in along the way. This is a heart-felt poem written with such a wonderful rhythm.

A lovely flow to this Daybreaker, almost trotted along infact!lol I found the horse reference quite amusing really, as women do carry men through life most of the time, so although a little cheeky, quite appropriate, you don't want a cart horse though, you want a nice sleek speedy mare! Or stalion, if so inclined. I really enjoyed your poem, and thought it very well written and quite romantic, despite the carry analogy!lol Smiling at you, Tai
