Hello everyone! This is some of the poetry I have written, which I'll admit isn't all that great, but I do enjoy writing poems from time to time. Please give feedback or criticism! If you have a negative comment, that's okay, just explain why you have a negative thing to say! Thanks!

Rain

It's rained for years upon my heart.
I walk past the wailing woman.
A mother holds her newborn babe,
slumped against a filthy wall.
A light in the dark,
it seems so small.
A discarded bag.
It taps out the songs of the sky's falling tears.
A child cries out, lost and alone.
A drunk laughs.
The streets are wrapped in mist.
I hear footsteps. Mine.
I look at the sorrow in your eyes.
I kiss your lips.
Your heart stops.
It could not pump.
Choked on drugged blood.
A corpse grins madly in the lamplight,
A dead woman holds her stillborn child.
And as I walk away,
the rain continues to fall.

The Journey

A total eclipse of the mind,
a shadow cast on dreams,
a storm on the horizon,
a river made of screams.

A sadness fills the heart,
a darkness in the soul,
my rising sun has set,
sucked into a black hole.

Emerging into night,
guided by the stars,
I travel through the land,
inch by inch, yard by yard.

The land of Sorrow,
is anything but fun,
but I can not leave,
until my Journey is done.

For years and years I roam,
wandering far and wide,
My hopes are held and slip away,
like the ocean to the tide.

Upon the winding road,
I met a passing man,
He looked at me and said,
"Friend, I understand."

No sense of time is held by me,
only the road ahead,
what is behind is left there,
it's all as good as dead.

I saw a sign beside the road,
"KEEP ON, YOU'RE NEAR THE END"
I looked again in disbelief,
but there was nothing to be read.

I ran down the road,
hope pumping through my veins,
Was the Journey over?
Or is this all in vain?

I saw a door that lead to nowhere,
a sign hung just above,
I walked over to the portal,
and read the sign thereof.

"YOU HAVE REACHED THE FINISH LINE,
YOUR JOURNEY IS AT AN END,
JUST WALK ON THROUGH THIS DOOR,
AND YOU WILL BE HOME AGAIN."

I walked on through the door,
and I knew exactly where I was,
but I was nearly blinded,
by the shining of the sun.

It was the same old road,
but it was also home,
I never saw just what it was,
in that darkness all alone.

I never left my home at all,
depression kept me blind,
now that I can see again,
joy is all I find.

The Rose

I awoke one morn, in the form of a rose,
wearing a cloak of dew,
light reflecting the most remarkable colors,
upon my softest petals.
I look about and spy my lover,
a beautiful crimson being,
lips bursting of melodious song,
to the music of a sparrows' choir.
The skies are golds, violets and blues,
changing hues with the morning sun,
the clouds hang like paintings,
conjured by an artist god.
Tears flow from my eyes,
for life is truly grand.
I would not have, as I did,
realize life's gift,
if not for a simple rose,
these words I'd not have wrote.

Sans Title

I've thought to myself,
time and time again,
that although I may walk with the living,
inside I am quite dead.
Who can understand this mind of chaos?
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,
Venture no farther into this wicked maze of mind,
To do so is to lose yourself,
Among my crumpled memories.
What happened to the innocent boy,
who loved his life so grand,
He grew into a miserable man,
Thinking of nothing but death and strife.
Hello to the darkness, heir to the light,
Looking about to find nothing in sight,
Oh how am I to leave this place,
When it does not even exist?
Am I the keeper or the caged,
The master or the pet,
The killer or the killed,
Will I remember or will they forget?
This maddening spiral down into the hole,
I see myself falling into a mother’s tear.
Falling through the water,
Drowning in the dirt,
I feel it fade away,
The smile of my hate.
Lost in this maze of mind,
Wandering amongst ruined thoughts,
Broken memories and dead dreams,
I still remember the feel of your kiss.
You are long since gone and I long alone,
But this world shall remember,
That light it will never again know.
The embers of the fire,
Burn slowly on my skin,
The searing flesh,
Smoke and laughter.
To remember or to forget,
Beyond that is where I want to get.
Your touch, your kiss, my life,
Gone like the night mist,
Killed by your smile, killed by your smirk.
It fades away, and I say hello, hello, goodbye.

Questions

To love a person who is in pain,
is that a crime, or gift?
To help a person with a life of hurt,
is it possible to cross the rift?
When you love someone who has lost emotions,
is it possible to get them back?
In love with one confined inside,
can you free them from the black?
When you care for someone broken,
can you even hope to fix them?
When you love a person who'll be gone,
can you even try to forget them?
When you love one who feels alone,
can you give them all you've got?
When there is one who is seeking,
can you give the love that's sought?
