Leaving heartache in my wake,
And tears to fall in frozen time,
To memories of when words were mine.
And broken breezes blow me by,
Flying me through jagged clouds.
Those edges cut our hopeless ties,
Yet cannot muffle lonely cries.
Silence hovers on the air,
The final hour is soon to come,
And heartbeats rush to say goodbye,
The tears hold back and long to cry.
Before it dies will come the truth,
Spoken through a slaughtered smile,
Words will come through monotone,
They'll hang nearby, till all alone.
The ghosts of we are stalking me,
Grasping at rememberance,
Dying with such elegance,
In hope to set me free.

i think explaining would be good but nevertheless a really good poem.
i guess in a way the lack of explanation means everyone can interpret it their own way which is good.
like the ryhming too, i find sometimes poems sound like they are trying to rhyme but this one doesn't :)
well anyway, me likies the poem :D that was a longwinded way of saying that wasn't it? |

The last stanza totally pwns me...heh. I agree with spider, I like how everyone has their own interpretation of a poem. And this, is just a lovely, hauntingly lovely poem. Do you get tired of me telling you that all the time, Phil? :p

It is a little over my head but I guess it's one of those pieces that you can fit into ur own life and give ur own meaning...which I think is cool. Very nicely done. You are very discriptive. What a talent!

| I really enjoyed this read. The rhyme flow was good.....kept me flowing like a breeze, through these words. The first and second stanzas, really captured me. The fourth stanza, the words hit like a sledgehammer. Great write. Thank you for sharing, Peace and hugs, Laura |

Such sadness and heartache....yet is that a bit of hope at the end? hope of and end to the pain?
I hope so. Your writes are always so full of emotion...hugs. |

Holy wow, hun. What an incredible piece. I am certain there
are a multitude of people who relate to this. Your talent never
dulls hun. It shines on regardless of subject.
This piece, especially, is so heartfelt and forlorn.
Almost a plea in it's struggle to impart emotion of
the most beautiful, horrible kind. Believe me when I say,
I wish I had written this. Flawlessly brilliant!
*hugs*

No need to explain PhillyGirl...this is beautiful because the emotion is candid, and raw with truth. Your poetry is never lacking in feeling, and that's why I always enjoy a trip to your account page.
