With a Lack of Hope

Contributed by bobotheclown on Thursday, 14th July 2005 @ 09:41:14 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



Pawing through the remains of my life
nothing can be salvaged from the ashes.


I am blind, for these eyes no longer see
though they still shed tears
through my glassy stare.
Falling with the leaves of nothingness
weeping, tenderly, with a dying note of despair
for this fear has lasted forever
along with this sense of incompleteness.

Just aching to go Home,
longing to touch the stars
and fly freely with them.
Lost and stranded in an empty wasteland
abandoned in this empty Void
filled with nothingness
except bleeding wrists and tired faces.

I am carried by this dry, suffocating wind
that blows away these few ashes.

I like your poem. As for the punctuation, I don't think you needed quite so many commas. Take out the comma after "weeping" and after "dry" and the poem flows a bit more smoothly. Of course when reading poetry like this it is customary to pause at the end of each line which pretty much guarentees a comma or period. I don't always put them in either though because I feel that they clutter up the page.

i thought this was "beautifully sad", the poem itself seems so delicate and i really liked the imagery. great job.

I agree with Wannabe. One to many commas in the write. The wording was rather simply as was your imagery. Maybe be a bit more abstract? But that’s just my opinion.
The poem wasn’t bad, good use of emotion.
3/5

Well Joel I must say I could envision myself in that poem, especially
in that second stanza. The smallness of myself in a field, looking up
to the sky and begging God to take me to Heaven without me having
to make it happen. You really captured the feeling in this poem I'd
say. I also like how the 1st 2 lines and last 2 go together as they
do. I'm glad I ran into this right away. Hope you are well.

Punctuation or not, this was one heck of a poem Joel. Your imagery has always been brilliant. The darker you go the better it gets. This was no exception, it was good from start to finish.

Will go back and read it again and again. Amazing work as always.

You have the ability to write anything and still compel and amaze me. No matter what the theme, no matter how puncuated it is, everything you write flows freely from one word to the next.

Hmmmmm... Interesting, dripping with sorrow and heart-wrenching emotion... but it's missing something, cheri... And I can't quite put my finger on it... It just doesn't FEEL like your usual work... it seems incomplete... And I hate to say things other than "This is perfect" because you usually create works of perfection. Don't get me wrong, it's breath-taking and beautiful... but it's missing your ESSENCE. A great piece for one who hasn't written in over a month, congratz on breaking the Block, my dear! I enjoyed this piece very much, but like I said, it's missing something. Other than that mysterious "something", this was fantastic! I really hope you will write again, cheri, because I love to read your work!! Sending you lots of hugs, inspiration, kissies, and hope... for hope is eternal, my friend. I'm here whenever you need me, ok? All my love. Forever,

Your dear friend/little flower,

~*Stephy*~

A marvellous longing to touch the stars and fly freely with them in order to reach the home from where our souls descended down to earth..so true this is not our home.
Great write with such a excellent emotional feeling. I truly enjoyed this wonderful write.
sincerely..venkat
