Dispair
Deep into the dregs of sorrow
my mind reels to the thought of tomorrow
Loathing the sun, I cower from the light
This weight on my soul can not be right
I have died, yet I live still
The reaper comes, my soul to kill
my eyes are blind, I can not see
The life that was in front of me
My future ruined, my hopes torn down
yet still I wait to recive my crown
commentary: I wrote this poem in one draft in about a 45second time-period for my english class.
Still She Stood Strong
Charged with being the symbol of security
She was commited to the cause:
Unfeeling,
Alone,
Forsaken.
Still She Stood Strong.
Like a statue amid a hurricane.
The winds howling and ripping at Her mind
Tearing away all She held dear.
Still She Stood Strong.
The scapegoat,
Always Her fault,
Though She's not to blame.
And Still She Stood Strong.
Thier symbol of security
Has taken too much.
Breaking Point.
She cries Alone.
Unloved by all but one.
He sways the storm and
And brings Her down.
Warm.
Loved.
Her mind is eased.
The tempest passed.
Troubles forgotten,
Dissipated,
Gone.
And his storm is just beginning.
commentary: I wrote this poem after I learned, from my girlfriend, that her parents were fighting a lot and she would come over and rest her soul on me.
Dreams
Restless nights I dream of you
Wake up reaching for untruths
Then to close my eyes to the black
Close and dream, never coming back
The morning sun burns my eyes
I wake up knowing the dreams were all lies
but I wish they were all real
The waking world has lost appeal.
The world is lost, all but you
I see your light and you pull me through
Depression and hate, killed by your love
Leaves you as the one to dream of.
commentary: I wrote this poem just because.
Black
Darker than the darkest night, and
Blacker than the blackest sky.
The deepest shadows where your fears lurk.
Covering you like a thick cold oil.
Heavy on your skin,
stealing warmth and strength.
It falls without sound,
Like an unheard predator it stalks it's prey.
Detectable by only the most attent ears.
Enveloped you try to scream, and
it invades your mouth.
The putrid blandness makes you gag.
The smell heavy and cold
makes you gasp for air
burning your eyes and lungs
Black emptyness
a void in which nothing is happy
The dark that can steal your strength.
commentary: this poem was written as a project for my english class
