Lost in thought

0 posted 2004-05-20 06:10 AM



Remember when
the sun sank black, beneath the sea,
and it left you on your knees,
again?

Remember nights when you would weep
and never find the still of sleep?

Remember what it's like to grieve
when nobody believes
in who you are?

And could it be considered theft
to rob a heart
of love...
bereft
of hope,
again?

'Cause all you knew
is nothing now,
and love that was
is gone somehow...

Do you remember
mourning, too,
when nobody had faith
in you?

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
                  Joyce kilmer

Enjoyed reading your words
Suits my mood of the day
Although I tend to favor a more structure form
This writing is fine in it’s style
Making the expression more powerful

Say,
Thank you sir   I'm honored that you enjoyed...

Gloom,
I tend to like more structured forms too. Unfortunately my mind has no apparent structure and I come up with things like this... I'm glad you think it works more powerfully, though   I hope your day gets better than the moods of this... Thank you much for your reply.

Always, Alyssa

GG,
Yes I have memories like those. Just couldn't recall as effectively as you. Well done.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
