A Poetic Rendition of a Co-dependent Experience Howard E. Sims Jr.

There's a pendulum swing of emotions that may easily be derived from the kaleidoscopic scenarios as they unfold in the spiritual havoc and disquietude of A Poetic Rendition of a Co-Dependent Experience. What had the initial intentions of an innocuous love affair, found 'he who pens' past the brink of escape and resolution in a cocaine-directed 'Hotel California Experience.'Torn between the paradoxical impossibility of self-expulsion, and the unbelievable agony of leaving his love so hopelessly trapped, 'his pen moved.'The poetic/author finds solace, and an assuaging of personal agony through the only means of therapeutic resource he has at his command. With his pen, passing out of the vicissitudes of infidelity and frustrations associated with co-dependence, faith torn, faith regained, vectors of hope, and a perpetual prayerful posture, through the constant presence of Christ, not only occupied the infinite span of hopelessness which ever so dramatically with disillusions and illusions of escape 'back to the passage once known before,' not only gives temporary comfort, but creates a disdain as the images that articulate the reality of co-dependence. Though his commitment to his fiance is a Christ-based one, it may be this fact that makes it the excruciating vissitudal experience that it is!!!!
