[hometext] => the child is gone...most definitely...
[bodytext] => The child that my father knew Has long since passed from view Boxed up and stashed away A forgotten relic of a better day He marched away from his world of light Bent on setting the universe to right His heart aflame bursting with good intent Kept trying 'til his last dream was spent That child's gone, sadly, he's older now Longing has replaced the dreams, somehow Yes, the child's vanished, almost without a trace And some sad old stranger has taken his place Older, than he should be and seems quite lost None the wiser I'm afraid, despite the terrible cost The man that grew in such dire misery Certainly isn't what the child ever did see With the tearful, sad passing of what was to be Those memories are now what the man does see His longing slowly drags him into his night And growing darkness overwhelms his fading light Lines carved in his face from all the lonely tears Marking always when he succumbed to his fears Lines of life...these furrows of pain and sorrow Deeper still because yesterday bought no tomorrow [comments] => 4 [counter] => 188 [topic] => 32 [informant] => reprobate [notes] => |||||||Incorrect spelling has been corrected, as requested. ---Moderator_14||||||| [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 14 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
