Awakened from a tenderness lost with a flame I open my eyes holding a forever breath and begin to cry You can lose so much with just a kiss You can remember so little with a life Yet you never feel the loss until you awaken O whisper of the dream again When I had fought so hard until now Only to find that what I had wanted Was everything I had Before I awakened If you seal yourself away from the nightmares all you can ever feel is sorrow For you know you've been locked away forever forever, sealed by a lonely dream It seems all dreary in a cage not of your own making yet built from your own hands It seems all is lost when you hear all the answers and never the question All you want to do is to get out To be free! To live again! To escape this menace that we so fondly call a hope a wish a dream Awakened yet again to another day O all the regret you feel now! When you remember what you could have had Inside that lonely place Broken, lost more than ever before, you can remember all the wandering done there you can recall every plague of thought that pained you can miss what you had acutely What good is it to awaken? To a world such as now? What meaning would anyone take? For someone to be set free? All you want is to get out never thinking what would happen if you did What good is it to dream anymore? I wonder all the time What happens if you wake or sleep? And I go neither way Once before I had been in such a place A place where there was no you A place where there was only wandering A place called a dream Do you know where your going? When you say your dream is to live? Many people wander aimlessly sealed away lost forever hopeless inside a dream I wonder now, and I wished I did then What made me want to escape so? No you No me No cold No heat all wandering I wasn't anyone there I was just another us But I was always running away To fine myself So we search for the one that we want some of you some of me some heat some cold and knows who you are inside We search for the escape we think we want And later to find dismay that what you had always lived for what you really wanted was still locked away And never wanted to be Awakened "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness." "Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things." |

This is such a beautiful poem! It is so...poignant.I enjoyed it so much. But it's so sad. It is one of those that if you are in a good mood it makes you feel lucky that life is so good but if you are depressed it'll make you cry. Keep writing, I'll be looking out for your next poem. |

astraea: enchanting  i love the form of the poem and the words flow smoothly despite the varied verse length... very good poem... i'll keep an eye out for more of yours in the future...sincerely, jerome the boy that wants more kool-aid A savage place! as holy and enchanted As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted By woman wailing for her demon-lover! ~Coleridge |
