I sleep through day, noise and voices around
To keep troubled thoughts at bay
But once night falls there is no escape
And all whispers sound like yours

By light a soul stays fair and strong
When dreams feel easy and sweet
But as night takes my resilience away,
Casts your shadow across nightmares

You’ve been in me so long by now,
Your very spirit in my blood
So when I go to the sea, I’ll open my veins
And surrender us both to the flood

For to carry you in these heavy bones
No longer allows me to fly
The powers I once felt through you are lost
And flightless birds have no will but to die

hey PoppaLoco, I really liked your poem.
Sounds like a lost love. Very deep and
heavy....nice work.

To succumb to such realizations is in fact a death to what has passed, and rebirth to what is yet to come.

Delicate weave Poet.
Enjoyed.

Moondogz.. pretty much hit the nail on the head there, oh well teenage issues.

Diamond, very very insightful! This actually got me back on a sane, 'rebirthed' road after a very long senseless affair.

Thanks for giving it your thoughts =)

Unfortunately the still of the night isn't always that still!

May you reclaim your wings and fly.

Now you are free to allow a new love to enter your life.

Its easier to let go once we can't see ourselves with them anymore...that seems to be the transition from letting go to moving on...James
