Throw open the floodgates Let it pour into your soul Agony of blackest fate Taken now it’s toll Live for the moment Heart full to bursting Love surges in a torrent On the inside dying From her lips a kiss Enswathing weak in passion’s fire What heart could resist Unchained beauty and need so dire? Rushing river scathing Clinging to shattered dreams Feel the burn of the soothing World not what it seems Rocks break the rushing black No support offer they Callous stone there is no lack Breaking all with the words they say The floodwaters rise and boil Jetsam of life blazing by Work and sweat and toil Through pain I will fly Abrahm Simons "You... You are so special You have the talent To make me feel like Dirt" - Alice in Chains, "Dirt" |

This has brought tears to my eyes Abe. I too am living these words of torment and pain. You have captured the mood well here my friend. |

Oh Abe...such pain within you, my friend. Know that I will always be here to help you deal with whatever comes across your path in life. Forever, my friend. You can count on me. Btw, deep, cutting, painful work here. Your poetic talent is definitely growing.  *Krista Knutson* "Lonliness is the human condition." *Mark Twain, in the book "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"* |

Abey, Great poem firstly. Very vivid in my tiny head. LOL. I said it once, and I'll say it again, if you need to talk to someone, I am here... just like krista and every other friend you've got. I've used you to talk to many a time, I'll be here to return da favor if you need it. Cheer up! "Even a fool knows you can't touch the stars, but it doesn't stop a wise man from trying."

Abrahm.... this is a stunning poem. It is very, very good, and I am really impressed. I know I'm no judge of poetry, as my talents mainly lie in prose, but I thought it was excellent, and as long as you can reach people, that's what matters. Great job. Erin |
