Coming to ends of pathway's exit
Shortest routes in time's eternity
First drop of leaves dying in beauty
Yesterday's dreams measured in gold
Tomorrow's nightmares waiting to unfold
Sighted upon crying intentions
Within tragedy's shadow premonitions
Beyond destination peaks astrayed
He speaks upwards in his smile alone
But mind's loudness reality shuts off all tone
Closed rooms of passions descend
Only door reached by close friends
As nothing seems surely supported
I take one last moment to look over life distorted
Over now with no more grieves
Freedom at last, fallen leave

Hello Passnot,

I don't think I have seen your name here before so, welcome to the CA forum. Small world isn't it? Looks like we are neighbors. If you are a student at UCO just look out the window and wave.

No real critique at this time but check your email for a welcoming message.

I like the language of this poem, but the rhyme can seem forced at times.  I had a few problems knowing what part of speech some words were being used as and this hindered the flow and my understanding of the poem.  Ex: "coming to ends of pathway's exit" this seemed to be missing some articles or something.  "within tragedy's shadow premonitions" should this be shadowy?  "destination peaks" should this be destination's peaks or destination-peak maybe? etc.

Disclaimer: The preceding statement is just my opinion.
