1. Heartbroken tick-tocks cracked sounds, whipping down the stairway Running away from itself Echoed whispers, frozend in the dark Exploding tears, collapsing starlight Dissolving a life into the make believed Far away enough to try to be someone else 2. I am the shade Burnt against the light Suffering inside of day instead of in the cloak of night Tortured each day, all alone A dark mirror that doesn't belong 3. I hear the rain I look out of the window Upon the phases of time Falling from life to death Unable to fly Having more purpose in death than in life Heart beats exploding for the last time
1. Comfort in my home Lonilness I have found in the world Emotions I unfurled In the moments I have known How alien life is To such a dreamer Where do I belong? Outside of where I have dreamed 2. Kitchen of dreams Shattered wine glasses Pondering out of a fantasy window Dinners set aside in an empty dinning room Left out each night to become cold Broken starlight falling through the night's sky Death's heartbeats whisking by All of the backstage of life
Very nice effort there WrittenSouls. But your writing here is very hard to understand, for e.g: "Comfort in my home Lonilness I have found in the world" I wish you the best! _______________________________________________ Poetry writers Network edited
You feel how "lost" this person is... how alone. There is a contrast (comfort at home - assume alone at home) while there is lonliness in the world (where everyone else is.) What a clincher... to not even belong in your own dreams... very interesting and creative.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. Here is some new poems I recently wrote. 1. Paper hearts Origami hearts Black inked love A Folded memory Worn and torn Wrinkled in a faded denim pocket A buried treasure Black diamonds Each time: The essence of a hug 2. Cavern of thoughts The cold breathes of dragon bones Encaging my faceted sapphire heart Ambivalent Ambiance, shadows upon walls Ambiguous as clustered clouds Inkblot waterfalls Caving, excavating aimlessly Wandering for meaning Through earth's heart 3. The landscape of my eyes Reflections bouncing off their skys Shadows imitating a sunset and sunrise Overlapping a crystal garden for my soul A dream world, unseen, unforgotten Memories weaved yet unlived, unspoken Walking upon Broken starlight 4. Dark moonlight Seeping through starlight Tucked into the clouds Into shades of blues Dreaming and thinking Upon the beds of the sky Casting down shadows As storms brews into a lullaby 5. Broken starlight Concealed in a jar Frayed angel feathers Forming a dream catcher Dull pixie dust In a money bag Tears from a mermaid Upon an old rag In a man's basement 6. Kitchen of dreams Shattered wine glasses Pondering out of a fantasy window Dinners set aside in an empty dinning room Left out each night to become cold Broken starlight falling through the night's sky Death's heartbeats whisking by All of the backstage of life
