I live by  a guarded castle
One with towering walls
The waters surround it
Dark and deep
                    
I can not get beyond your stronghold
No  life I find  within this hardened mass
What has fixed this stone so rigid?

Desperately
                    
I search for some warmth
A  light that will melt it's frozen gaze
                    
                    
Nothing stirs
Nothing will breathe

                    
Why have you  locked this door and thrown away the key?
What will melt this icy thorn lodged so deeply?
This frigidness chills me to the bone
                    
Lying in a pool of death
Naked now amongst the light of day.

I find no refuge here
In your guarded castle

I have often written sad poetry as a way of unloading my emotions. I hope that writing helps you in the same way. Sometimes when I write I feel as though nothing else matters but the words on the page. Write for life!

Wonderfully done.  This poem is filled with so much emotion.  
"Lying in a pool of death
Naked from the light of day."
So sad, but so beautiful. Keep it up


EVEN ANGELS FALL.

Very intense and sad. I know the feeling well. Take care.
