Oh Icarus!
Let me burn
let me burst the sky
Touching that valiant sun
floundering i drown upon these wetly wings
i dream of scarring wax
while you disappear into light
the sun ignites your soul
while the moon embitters me with her dance of waves
destiny lifted you higher
cowardice tempted me low
you are nothing more
I am with too much
let us cross
so that I may sink in sun
while you swim
at times when i forgo my need of hapiness,
i am ushered unknown into a knowledge fully blessed...
that i have two friends who freely come and go as my foes,
for i know that these two love me with all their hearts and hate only what i fail to learn and know.
their guidance strong,
my freedom entrusted.
their love unconditional,
my oppurtunities made unlimited.
their depthless understanding and efforts,
to the follies and foolishness,
that i have met.
their ever-reaching dreams,
that reach my heart but not realization.
brought up in perfection
but caught up in illusion.
forgive and forget.
such empty words...
(better shattered to shreds,
let rabid through the veins,
to tear up and taint,
what beats filthy...)
take a dip
a little will drip
let some slip
why yes...
why not a sip?
forget to forgive.
such festering words...
better left to stain
searing through the heart
that cries out
for revenge.
words allude me...
running blindly,
unlike similies,
unread metaphors,
all escape me.
to exist still more,
in my fitful thoughts.
really i mean it:
this is what i have done.
this is what i have always meant.
this is what i will always know.
this is what you will always see.
really that's all there is,
only i wish it were true.
i must find myself..
within the very mazes,
of your past tense.
whatever was remembered ago.
i must find myself...
where i did exist.
where i wondered and whispered:
think of me.
i am no stranger.
i knew you...
is that not enough
to find where i never was
until now...
hey your poetry is simply mind blowing :D hope you like a poem of mine
MISERY
I look around to find a friend all that I see are a thousand corpses
I yearn to hold a hand pulsating with warmth all that I see is my own decayed to the bone
I look upto the skies hoping to be overwhelmed by a blue so beautiful
The sky has darkened and threatens to erupt like a long dormant volcano
And then the rains lash out, I seek protection but refuge is nowhere in sight.
Despair, agony and fear vie for supremacy; to feel so alone
This I fear is my vision of universal misery
Really? Thank you! :D i hope you're not just saying that for politeness sake :)
I really like the deep feelings you have conveyed in your poem and the way you through description, you intensify the miserable tone of the poem.
I can only say it reads more like a narrative than a poem...
it's like you enmesh the intense parts within explanation
do you understand what i mean? But of course is just a matter of rearranging your great creative ideas to flow more. :D As you could see i have the very same issue that i push myself to work at each time i write.
no honestly ur poems are awesome and i totally identify with what your saying, it is more like a narative because it is all that my heart wishes to say.thank you for enjoying the poem coz i was not sure if it was any good :D
A name
creates...
what has
been
let go.
stealing peace.
demanding an identity
that has yet to grow...
yet to feel the very curvatures
of its letters
writ in its
birth-flesh being.
Dear Destiny,
thou art but a mistress,
mover of a mere mortal will,
that yet shapes all that you usurp.
let it be..
it is not fate.
i find it not in the stars.
it is only...
your reason that rules over a life.
it struggles still..
towards the Light...
that does not exist.
journey to the innocence
of a budding's tired cry
music to the ear
that softly forgets
what fate it has set forth
what death will take
because he has more heart
than that which moves to see
what pleasure more, stays now distracted
upon those who gaze
on all that is yet to be known
clouding what is known
and does not live
in our lives
if not named
