Neglecting sorrow through the years
A painful need to shed the tears
Seclusion haunts an ugly fear
Past gone by, it disappears
Disturbance floods her troubled mind
As youthful joys are left behind
Anguish hides from prying eyes
Forgotten times she’ll never find
It's that time of the week again - a place to share our work. Truth be told, I'm finding it hard to get back into the groove. I almost forgot that today was a posting day!
Today I'm going to share with you another one of my older poems. This one isn't as sombre as most of the others - which was quite different for me back in those days!
Imaginary Jesus
Capturing her lonely soul
A passionate glance towards the forgotten
A life of which is past
A turbulent mind painfully hidden in the shadows of a smile
A tortured smile
As the demons dance
And chant within the abyss
An abyss which is her being
Beckoning Jesus
Leading her to a path
A path that is comforting
While the angels sing to the memories of peaceful encounters
Twisting the satanic uproar
Engulfing her mind in a frenzied carousel
A whirlwind of broken dreams
And shattered hopes
As she drops her head in sorrow
And the tears well in her eyes
Painfully needing the forgotten
Aching for what is past
Casts her mind to the forgotten
Her smile will never last
Rejection of love leaves you standing alone
Can’t you hear her cries?
When a person needs
When a person wants
Nothing else
But you
Memories haunt her
Endless visions passing through her mind
Visions of you
A precious flower which crumbles
This is her heart
She doesn’t want to cry
You make her smile
Don’t forget
Don’t neglect
You are her magic
Forever inside her soul
You are certain
She will never let you go
Her mind
A confused, bitter affair
The mirror
She stands before
The truth reveals
An evil glare
It sees right through her avid pain
Her eyes reflecting hurt
Her heart; weary and lame
Questioning her motives
Why? What is there to gain?
Her hands; bound
Her eyes; blind
The circumstances comfortable
But therefore unkind
A dark and lonely room
No light to guide the way
No security or comfort
No glimpses of the day
Her dark and lonely heart
No love to see her through
No hope beyond the distance
Only memories of you…

The surface of her soul
The pounding of her heart
The twinkling of the moonlight
Gave way to every spark
Of fire that was started
Beyond the depths of time
She felt her spirit wither
And her eyes close softly tight
As she contemplated life
And faded with the night
