Array ( [sid] => 1525 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Driftwood [time] => 2002-08-01 02:40:32 [hometext] => I wrote this during a time when my life was in turmoil. I longed to find my soulmate, I knew she existed out there , I sat down one day with pen in hand and this was the result [bodytext] =>
I feel like driftwood washed ashore,

Each wave that crashes weakens me more,

The voices of reason that whispered to me,

Lost forever on an uncharted sea.



My heart once shrouded in passion now gone,

Sorrow cloaks a light that once shone,

Romance I longed for slowly faded away,

Like a distant sunset at the end of the day.



The stars that twinkle a glowing moon,

Have immersed into darkness and eerie gloom,

The Mountain heather that covered the land,

Now burned and blackened to a twisted strand.



The sands of time unforgiving and harsh,

Like a wetland bird on a dried up Marsh,

Beds of roses once proudly grew,

Lie crumpled and covered in frosty dew.



I wander alone in search of a sign,

A kindred spirit for my soul to entwine,

Unlocking my dreams and clearing my eyes,

Lifting the clouds and brightening the skies.



Until then I shall wonder lost and alone,

My feelings trapped in this heart of stone,

flickering embers are all that remain

and a single vision that I'll find her again

I feel like driftwood washed ashore,

Each wave that crashes weakens me more,

The voices of reason that whispered to me,

Lost forever on an uncharted sea.



My heart once shrouded in passion now gone,

Sorrow cloaks a light that once shone,

Romance I longed for slowly faded away,

Like a distant sunset at the end of the day.



The stars that twinkle a glowing moon,

Have immersed into darkness and eerie gloom,

The Mountain heather that covered the land,

Now burned and blackened to a twisted strand.



The sands of time unforgiving and harsh,

Like a wetland bird on a dried up Marsh,

Beds of roses once proudly grew,

Lie crumpled and covered in frosty dew.



I wander alone in search of a sign,

A kindred spirit for my soul to entwine,

Unlocking my dreams and clearing my eyes,

Lifting the clouds and brightening the skies.



Until then I shall wonder lost and alone,

My feelings trapped in this heart of stone,

flickering embers are all that remain

and a single vision that I'll find her again

What a deeply moving poem rich with imagery of how we have all felt at some time or other on our journey. I trust you find your soulmate my friend, the depth of your pain is well expressed here.

Very glad you found her. Poetry is one of the best ways to let your feelings, to let people (Ok, her) know how you feel, or just to let yourself know, if you know what I mean...
Keep writing,
Take care.
