This reflection, feverish with fear. A shattered faith shown through a broken mirror, The candle dances, casting shadows on the wall, The silhouette of obscurity, lost without cause. My shadow will dance, a faint whisper in the night, The truth burns like a furnace, a glimmering light. The smoke will rise, and the tables will turn, When everything’s cleared it will all have been done. Faith worn thin, her soul becomes weak, Hope for the shadow begins to look bleak. It dances more faintly, as the candle decays, To rise through the ashes of all life’s disarray. The candle is dead; smoke will rise to the stars, The shadow once living, no longer resides Within this hole, of perpetual defeat, All of life seems a hopeless disease. She hoped and she dreamed but she never perceived, Not everything she believed would be achieved. Our shadows will fall into darkness with time, We lose ourselves in life’s ongoing rhyme. “Put your faith in me, I’ll guide you home.” She hears it throughout, a monotonous tone. Belief is a weakness, and faith a disease, With one or them both the mind cannot see. My shadow will dance, a faint whisper in the night, Your faith will decay, into your mind peeks a light. My shadow will dance, with yours in the sun, All that I am, would not... could not be undone.
Taste The Rainbow The water fall washes down Off the mountain side In it's sheen fields of green And heavy mist arrised stark across The rainbow shine Could it be Taste the rainbow All those thoughts inside my mind Where things I played like the castaway Were sounds my music had not played In such a way The rainbow could not shine Could it be Taste the rainbow The water fall washes down Off the mountain side In it's sheen fields of green And heavy mist arrised stark across The rainbow shine Maybe I was only dreaming for a moment Two or then But I could swear I was believing in that time When things I played like the castaway Were sounds my music had not played In such a way All the rainbow was a smile and stayed a while And could it be Taste the rainbow The whispers of our dreams Just take a little while
~* I really liked the two poems you posted. This one throws me off a bit when it rhymes and then doesn't. My favorite ones were the fifth and sixth. I hope you will be posting to others work as well as posting your own. Love and Light*~
Thank you for your comment. And yes, of course I will be posting to others work. I love reading others poems, it helps give me ideas for my own. Peace and love.
~* lol, I just thought I would bring it up, with the pissing match that has been brewing in other threads! *~
Don't bother gdhmomchild. That guy's outside life appears to be caving in at the moment and he doesn't know how to handle it. So he does the only thing a frustrated, cornered young man would do and takes it out on some strangers in a poetry forum. If you ignore him, eventually his thread would pass to the back, he'll get bored and find another venue for his anger. I actually feel sorry for him, but this is a learning process that is sometimes sprung on humankind. Anyway, nice to read some good quality prolific poetry from peace child. Hope you can keep it up
