As memories fade to loser's dreams,
Walking paths I no longer know,
These yellow bricks have nowhere to go.
Ripped apart by fearful thought,
Disregarding those scenes I sought,
Chasing rainbows I'll never touch,
Praying it won't hurt too much.

Edging away from bottomless brinks,
Solace in bottles and glasses of drink,
Making u-turns based on blind fear,
Repeating old cycles for months and for years.
Running away from such beautiful things,
In case it leads me to think of rings,
Using excuses that just won't do,
Losing my trust in all that is true...

I usually don't like rhyming poetry but I really like this poem a lot. The rhyme’s scheme didn’t get in the way and wasn’t too sing songy, which is a mistake a lot of poets make. I will say it was a simplistic rhyme scheme and I’d encourage you to omit the rhyming or choose a different scheme in your next poem. Over all it was lovely!

And I encourage you to keep writing. Formatting is not essential to the art of passion through language. This was a well done work. DS has the passion of a grapefruit sweet and quickly bland. You can see it in his comments. DS is the kind of poet who follows structure and is about as feeling as a fruit fly in a desert. This was a good work and I would encourage you to just simply keep writing.

BRAVO!

SCM

P.S. - DS is a good poet if you aren't sure yourself just ask him.

I loved this read, particularly the images in the first stanza. I thought the rhyme shceme was fine, there is so much emotion and description in this poem that it doesn't bother me one way or the other.
Beautiful, I will make an effort to read more of your work,

Take care,
Dom
