This barren face... this empty soul
In this hidden shadow of my soul
Deep inside I hide this obscure pain
That is lurking within my inner core
Taking most of me as if it's home
I dare not seek where the light is to beacon me
For it would only reveal what is hiding under
The blanketing sadness of the past
A child's nightmare of rejection
The pain of the past
Is still haunting my present
The mirror begs my reflection
Reflection of the naked truth
Who refuses to view with down turned eyes
For there is nothing else to look forward to
I have viewed beyond cold life
And wasted the time living in a shattered world
I am here, inside my secret garden
Filled with false dreams, filled with false hopes
Pushing away those, my heart that keep guarding
I know, all of my love, all of me seems useless
Let me know there is still reason to live
Let me feel that there is still warmth
Coming from the future
To warm my heart... to comfort my soul

dearest dinna,
ReplyDeletelay your faith on God, slowly pick up each and every weed in your heart and replace them with seeds of love.
Its a marvellous poem, you are simply fantastic. loved it.
keep my suggestion in mind, i never say anything which i have not done myself.
with lots of love,
trisha
powerful poem with things that I can relate to..what you hold inside needs to heal..to do that it needs to surface with someone you trust..then the steps to peace start .. small ones but important ones
ReplyDeletesometimes i think your poetry is as angst ridden as mine has been lately. I don't know you know, for whatever people say its a way to ventilate artistically. that way something beautiful comes out of the pain. so all is not lost. m. i couldn't write happy poetry all the time anyway, i would probably make myself throw up. :) and it's ot that we're looking for sympathy you know, it's just the way we deal with our own emotions. i would always write beautiful sadness even if i was happy. because its more moving and more emotional and i believe more people relate to pain than they do joy. unfortunately. so why not make it beautiful.
ReplyDeletewhen i read i want to be moved, not necessarily inspired. i want to feel what it is that is in that persons heart. be it pain or happiness. and when i am moved. then i am inspired.
you have a gift to emote. it's a rare thing, i know too many people who call themselves poets and yet they cannot emote. they just write words.
take care.
peace.
oh...i wanted you to know i have you linked to my other blog.

very true my friend. but i guess what makes it hard for someone to leave the state of being sad is that he or she is still at a stage of denial that everything that the reason for his/her sadness is actually happening to him/ her.
thanks a lot for reading ad sharing your thoughts my good friend. morepower

Very very true Charlz. I have two other sites where i post my stuffs and i also notice that people tend to react more to sad poems than cheerful ones. and we are the same with the thinking of poetry is not only writing words.
Every time i read any poem, i also try to put my self to his or her situation. i'd like to feel what the writer is actually feeling while he's writing his piece. that way, i would be able to appreciate and actually allow every word to touch my heart.and thanks for the link, i'm already a follower of that site of yours :)
thank you so much Charlz. Despite sadness in your words, the beauty of your heart still shines through. more power!
