that are born in the last parcel of fading moonlight.
Where hope is but a shadow,
flickering helplessly upon an empty wall.
There the thoughts I once believed,
are but memories lost in the reflections,
of a place called yesterday.
And I am but a child wandering through the endless summers of youth,
blissfully ignorant of the perils and trials of days yet untold.
Caught up in search for dreams lost upon the byways of life.
There I stand staunch before the winds of change,
lingering lost among the echoes of days long past.
Crying unheard amongst a thousand screaming others,
who are weary at the wonder of what tomorrow will bring.
Drawn to the query of questions never answered.
Damned by the dispositions of doubt that lie heavily on a burdened soul,
and cursed by the fear of yearnings to gaze upon the rising of tomorrow’s sun,
as I am fated to the regrets sown into the promise of another day,
and left to lie bleeding before the breaking of the dawn.

A childish reminiscence

I have been caught up in the gathering thoughts,
that are born in the last parcel of fading moonlight.
Where hope is but a shadow,
flickering helplessly upon an empty wall.
There the thoughts I once believed,
are but memories lost in the reflections,
of a place called yesterday.
And I am but a child wandering through the endless summers of youth,
blissfully ignorant of the perils and trials of days yet untold.
Caught up in search for dreams lost upon the byways of life.
There I stand staunch before the winds of change,
lingering lost among the echoes of days long past.
Crying unheard amongst a thousand screaming others,
who are weary at the wonder of what tomorrow will bring.
Drawn to the query of questions never answered.
Damned by the dispositions of doubt that lie heavily on a burdened soul,
and cursed by the fear of yearnings to gaze upon the rising of tomorrow’s sun,
as I am fated to the regrets sown into the promise of another day,
and left to lie bleeding before the breaking of the dawn.

while i was reading this, the words echoed in my head as if a great speaker was reciting the poem, that usually doesnt happen-so obviously your talent is a rare one to come across on this site...and very useful as well.

i particulary liked these lines, "Damned by the dispositions of doubt that lie heavily on a burdened soul,
and cursed by the fear of yearnings to gaze upon the rising of tomorrow’s sun,
as I am fated to the regrets sown into the promise of another day,".

your poem reminds me of some of evanescence's lyrics as well. i think there was even a bit of shock value because with the title, one would assume this would be sort of a happier poem than it was. good work.

Poem excellent, I do not think by your poem that you are at all lost, You describe it all so vividly bern.

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. Â©
