[bodytext] => Look back in time at the days of my youth I took all that I was given in search for the truth And yet look what I have found buried in the ground A broken down old book that is barely still bound It's words are still crisp and clear and the message is concise But I am left alone and no longer among the wise For wisdom is but a word without a clear meaning And love has taken apart my soul and left me without feeling So how can I be wise when I cannot hope to feel When I can't see what's in front of my eyes to see what is real Are you still standing there or is this still a dream Living life chained to a hope blinded I cannot see If I wished you into existence would this book show me the way If I read all the pages will you return today Or is this foolish thought that is simply killing my mind You are not returning and I still remain blind As I turn the ancient pages they turn to dust in my hands What once seemed so sturdy has returned to the land I then am left alone in my silent misery Hoping that I will die soon for in death I will be free [comments] => 0 [counter] => 195 [topic] => 39 [informant] => poet_of_anger [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )

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. ©
