Array ( [sid] => 95121 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Island and the Mountain [time] => 2005-05-20 12:12:05 [hometext] => There is more than one way to be trapped [bodytext] => The world has just grown
by leap and a bound
my support structure's gone
it's nowhere to be found

The ocean surrounds me
and it is pirrahna infested
should've seen it coming
i'd been too invested

In the people in my life
they are sailing away
do I jump into the water
and do I do it today

The island is where I've been
like a pirate marrooned
crimson spilling on the surf
from a deep bloody wound

Can't motivate myself
to stop the blood if I dare
Don't want food or drink
I really don't care

Behind looms the mountain
a way out of this place
it thrusts into the clouds
into outer space

Can I raise myself up
climb the mountain of fire
it is a task oh so daunting
i have no desire

I suspect that she's up there
waiting so patiently
mountain side is so steep
the climb's not in me

Alone on the island
where I have not a wife
i can't reach a girlfriend
just my worthless life

This world is too big
its rules so complex
i will just die here
and no one objects [comments] => 4 [counter] => 183 [topic] => 32 [informant] => Jaycee [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

This is a really true tale of the lost at sea feeling we get. Nice rhythm and flow and the rhyme scheme works. I can be quite symmetrical too, and should revise my works before posting. lol
But sometimes we just need to get it out into the universe so others can share our despair too. Great write! Angel always...joni
