[hometext] => This just came out... without any premeditation. I don't hate it as yet, so I'd appreciate it a lot if the readers leave a comment. It'll help me improve
[bodytext] => There she lies… Serene at last Her end was quick and fast No more troubles causing her harm No more nightmares to keep her awake Night after night Her eyes shut, face tranquil Look, she no longer cries… Here was hope Here were dreams built on wishes Wishes built on love That love now lost — gone But, didn’t she know? The answer is no… She thought they didn’t care, no one did If they did, they’d know of her plight She’d still be here had they loved her, right? There used to be laughter Sounds of mirth in the very room where she now lies It would ring through the walls Carrying joy to the hearts of others She would make everyone laugh Yet, when it came to herself She would falter, weeping instead As the day’s agony sunk in at night Aggravated by the fights Silent tears would fall into the pillow. She is gone now Nothing will change that fact or bring her back No words, no tears She cannot see now nor hear These thoughts should have been conveyed While she was breathing, not after death! As she is taken away Her body brushing against the sweetness of the air Now cold against her skin Which was once rosy — now pale, There erupts a heartrending wail. Two young eyes follow her Their innocence claimed by tragedy Streams flowing from them As they behold a loved one dead The child no longer visible Lost forever as loss kills the child And seeds of maturity are sown For only this will help him survive He lets out one last cry of anguish And stares unblinking… keeps on staring As though it will make her live again Foolish hope! He is still such a child. There she lies… Misunderstandings and nonexistent communication — She how they claim a life! Years of labour, years of love Now come to waste – in an abrupt end A young life with so much to offer Now gone forever, all of a sudden She had only wanted acceptance But ensnared in and confounded By webs of deceit, disillusionment and mostly lapses in comprehension She lost all desire to live What a shame! And now, there she lies… [comments] => 3 [counter] => 168 [topic] => 13 [informant] => SilverDagger [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

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. ©
