SORROW’S BLiND GRACE
The greater the man I am,
The greater the fool I must have been for the more mistakes I must have made,
in order to have learnt so much.

Heavy tears bare down thick layers of sin,
and bares it down to the beauty of our core,
A mist of construe from God’s ways and man’s ways
held up together by the burning branches of the human spirit.

The interaction between them creates the world’s soaky picture,
A secret that’s somewhat has to be kept in silence
but yet a secret that’s spoken from within the shadows of our being.

I’m drunk and drenched with life’s fine bitterness,
The sweetness of my childhood makes the void within my teenhood bitter,
Without direction I’m loaded with so much thought in my mind;
Addiction with the dices of reality trying to fill up this void that w/c my tongue cannot spit out.

Wandering ,searching for what has been layered under,
By what once seemed so normal,
The wars of my melancholy desires reveal more than what my temper will ever shout at me.

For the mess that I am right now,
reveals the monster I’ve always been…
in the sweet desireless past.
My innocence fades away with age,
But my oath between the grounds of God and man strengthens with youth’s meekly passion .

If I should be punish for letting my head run down,
Let it be for my only sins have become my only source of growth.
Laughter shrieks through this darkness of memories,
expressing the hunger of my soul.
Its hunger for truth heightens this fire’s wound,
Should I want for it?

Each color of reality comes to stain its mark on my picture;
All I have are my dwellings,
Dwellings that are enough to calm me, to despise the grounds of earth,to be locked up by my own sin,
And only through this I know,
Only I can set myself free.

I try to do what’s best,
but the world doesn’t seem to tell me the rest,
Only the sparrowing effects
This has shown my haunting home has raised me best.

My unspoken thoughts speak sarcastically through my spoken actions,
Which always leads me to the comfort
where hurting myself always seems to be the next best thing.

This sorrow has surfaced,
What other shallowness shall I fear?
The greater the pain felt,
The closer the glimpse I’ll have in knowing how strong my desires burn.
A daring mockery brings a reflection of what’s hidden.

No more settlimg for whats less,
I won’t walk through life being faceless,
This sorrow comes from all directions,
Traces itself only within thyself.

Broken reflections of what once shinned,
Awakens broken paths of the past,
Leading to unknown, unwritten, upcoming paths for sunset’s falsie destinations,
While overshadowing some shades of sanity’s hope

The deepness of past regrets only deepens on what is needed to be known,
The beginning of embracing the imperfection of love
is the beginning of embracing fruits of this imperfect world.
As I go on silently seizing hell’s reality,
while chasing heaven’s blind dream.

     ~WELCOME TO PASSIONS~

No, you are not alone. Many fine poets such as yourself write with such depth and soul searching. To me, there are about three poems here, or, more, though I am not an expert of poetry writing, I like all of what you had to say. Took me time to digest it.

Again, welcome to a loving, caring group of diverse people who share their poetry and so much more. Glad you are with us. Look forward to more of your writing.

Warm Regards, Pat

Good Morning,  having the third cup of the

truthful.  Says a lot....  Welcome to

Rarely do we get such an in-depth glimpse of another's mindful wanderings, especially in a first post. I enjoyed the write, and felt angst as well as calm acceptance and resolve.
Welcome, Lester, to these blue pages, where you can write your soul and also share the hearts of so many.

I wish I knew people like you. So rarely is one so passionate about expressing raw emotions... and in the midst of emotions, expresses truth.

welcome.
