Dragonfly
by Jose FelicianoIn the Depth of the stars,
In the waters of your soul.
With every grasp of my life,
I fall into an abyss of cold.
Scattered faces of truth,
All lost to broken lies.
Memories we once had,
Now lost to demon skies.
All that is left of your eyes,
Are tear drops of solid ice.
Pearcing my skin to tender bones,
Agony of pain that will not suffice.
The moon is crying and crying,
The heavens call my name.
What purpose shall I serve now?
When I am falling into flames.
I lay here hurt and dying,
My faith saves me no more.
Why have You forsaken me?
My spirit is numb and sore.
Standing in a shadow realm,
With no one to be seen.
In the distant shadows a Dragonfly,
Torments me in an eternal dream.

Author's Note: Many times we underestimate what a first heart break feels like. Especially when you rely on people in dark times. But when that rock or strength is gone, or a total lie, what do you have left? Is it worth it to continue living? This poem represents the pain and place I saw myself in one given time. Hope you all like it.

| Posted by Amie Golda on 02/10/10 at 08:41 AM I find the line: "I lay here hurt and dying" a little cliché and emo, and it's also in the past tense which doesn't exactly suit poetry. (Though I'm not one for following rules.) But the rest is really great.
Way to put emotion into words, you certainly captured the pain with many good lines, vivid images and even a consistency in flow. Congrats on getting POTD. Well deserved :) |
