Array ( [sid] => 186714 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Christmas is Broken [time] => 2019-12-24 20:10:54 [hometext] => For many of us Christmas is a joyous time. Let us not forget those who have lost someone dear, for which this holiday is particularly painful [bodytext] => Christmas is broken
Torn by the memory of days filled with light
Hidden by the mist, this cage and my prison
This now brittle child, this sleeper to life

Only in dreams I will smile at your silhouette
Climb up the sheer cliffs of doubt that enclose
Humanity mocks me, no words are comfort
The smile in the mirror sees nothing but lies

I am the ghost that follows the ghost
The wounded that waits for the wolves at the door
Christmas is bitter, soiled and sour
Sweetness was once, when I looked in your eyes

Cacophonous church bells scream through my mind
Life is a graveyard as I wait to die
Christmas a struggle, one more day to dwell
Cover me in snowfall, let me be at peace [comments] => 2 [counter] => 128 [topic] => 32 [informant] => puppy_dog_eyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

Christmas is Broken

Christmas is broken
Torn by the memory of days filled with light
Hidden by the mist, this cage and my prison
This now brittle child, this sleeper to life

Only in dreams I will smile at your silhouette
Climb up the sheer cliffs of doubt that enclose
Humanity mocks me, no words are comfort
The smile in the mirror sees nothing but lies

I am the ghost that follows the ghost
The wounded that waits for the wolves at the door
Christmas is bitter, soiled and sour
Sweetness was once, when I looked in your eyes

Cacophonous church bells scream through my mind
Life is a graveyard as I wait to die
Christmas a struggle, one more day to dwell
Cover me in snowfall, let me be at peace

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. ©
