I saunter unhindered through the shadows, as malignity swells up inside. My eyes are wide shut yet.... the rage will not hide. The forest of iniquity, clutches my breath. I ultimately grasp..... I’m in the lost woods of death!!! I rampage though the leaves to attempt to get out. I am plundering through my distinctive perturbation of doubt. The ebony ink commences to devour my soul... My spirit was seized......and I.. just let it go. I collapsed to the dust from the feebleness of my treacherous plight. The trees covered my reamins and I no longer had the STAMINA..... the WILL POWER.....or the HEART.. to finish my fight. I realized something as one solitary tear shattered the ground, And that mystical and vaporous night I had found; I was not ever in the lost woods of death...... But rather........... Trapped within my own horrendous stone walls of flesh. Life is like a storm, it passes you by without even knowing it~Amanda |

"I was not ever in the lost woods of death...... But rather........... Trapped within my own horrendous stone walls of flesh." OMG!!! This is beautiful hope you don't really feel this way So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this give life to thee." W.S. |

Awesome poem.. I liked the style, it's different. Great expression. *Jennifer "My nightmare isn't fearing what I dream... It's waking up, knowing what I'll see." |

Hi. acire sent me the link to this poem because he knew I was on the lookout for poetry with a 'nature' theme or analogy. I'd like to ask your permission to use this in the next newsletter for Passions if you don't mind. Just reply here (I'm putting this in my library) or send me an email. (and would you mind if we reformatted it for affect? Thanks. |

WOW - all I have to say, WOW! That is so fantastic. It describes, I think, what all of us feel at some point. "Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not." ~RFK |

Very good job on this one. I truly enjoyed this read. I thought this was exceptional! I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

This is an exceptional piece. One of those pieces I encounter every now and again that makes me feel very amateur. The use of punctuation to pause on keywords was very well used. Also, very impressive use of vocabulary. Go any further with the vocab and I'm gonna have to start busting out my dictionary. |
