Yes, I know I haven't posted in months, but I've had no inspiration. Today, I bring you three poems, one of them Dark, the other two just to show my development as a poet. (And because I'm studying poetry at school, which is where these were written) And now! The Return to Poetry Alone once more The dark returns I cower in my corner I am shunned, Though why I know not My face, proud Stern and cold Pretending I hurt not Yet inside I lay barren Wounded gravely They taunt me still And I will not cry They won’t win Home again Poems again Back into the darkness The New World Floating free above my mind Towards a bright new light Could this be Heav’n? I am not dead. This new world Like nothing seen afore I float around Through bright, green forest Over tall mountains. I weep with joy For true beauty Surrounds me utterly I wander for ages Not a soul do I see Till I cross the sea Reaching a new land Where, on the bay lies A white, gleaming city Filled with people Of such glorious beauty Angels if I ever saw them And the streets of that city Ah so clean. Yet then a voice booms Seeming from the heav’ns “Are you paying attention?” Then the world dissolves Returning me to the dirty, dreary Classroom of reality The Phone Call She said yes My heart beats fast The nervousness Has gone now past I breathe, I beam I jump with joy My mind racing With so many thoughts She hangs up Yet is still there Leaves an image Of her face, so fair.

I enjoyed the poetry called the New World. The words you have used and in such quick burst is quite amazing. Maybe this poetry should have been posted somewhere else (not in dark passions). Ronil (Inspiration for my poems is all around me for my muse is my reality.) |

You are probably right that it should have been posted eslewhere, but most of those (in fact, all) that know me here, are on this board, and it was meant for them. I might post it elsewhere, we'll see. Simon Come to me |
