cant do cheerful, i can kinda do morbid though

its very good Lorkin......and tell josh we are very sorry. ^_^

A monolith of a poem... Shipwrecked is just a temporary title. Shipwrecked I weave through the air, A soul without purpose. I dance as one lost, Lost, in life's circus. I look through a haze, As though my mind were clouded. I see things unclearly, As though my sight was shrouded. I'm alone in the dark, And my soul aches with regret, Things I should have done I now long to forget. I hear naught but time, Ticking away. I try to catch up, I will it to stay. I fight a lost battle, A battle against fate. A fate I gave myself, Now a reason for hate. The blame is all mine, I seethe with rage. I feel it catching up, A side effect of age. My life hits its crux, The climb of my life. It slices right through me, An angst-ridden knife. The wound is deep, A clean and cold cut, A wound that I feel, Deep in my gut. It clenches my chest, My heart begins to waver, My hands they shake, I place myself in disfavor. I wish I could ignore, All that I feel. But what I experience, Is entirely too real. When it comes to the test, I fall too short, I'm trapped in a gale, With not a hint of a port. I'm a ship without sails A compass or rudder. I look at my life, I sit back and shudder. There must be land, And for that I am bound. I see it before me, But I've run aground.

aaaarghhh more (absolutely wonderful :-)) soul searching despair for? - a life with no direction, peace or sense of accomplishment? Bravo! <thinks - "what have I done with my life?" then heads for the Prozac to avaoid jumping into the nearest ice - laden loch> ....of course I could be reading it wrong, High Lord and you could be lamenting the fact that you have none of your favourite wine left??? :) Gem

wow thats one long poem. very good, if not a bit disturbing. i had butterflies in my stomach as i read it!!! its so very good!!!

Thank you.

Seriously <I am not so tired & overwrought 2day!> .. Very very emotionally provoking and <I agree with Ebony> disturbing... wish I could write like that. Your humble fan... Gem

If i could create a soul of memories make a new debut If i could build a life of tears I would make it just for you When you left me all alone i could only weep and cry You said that i should be strong to really, really try the world was somehow different the silence echoed round I waited still and silent waiting to be found Yet now your gone i'm stronger I'll do anything, i know I'll climb the highest mountain i'll never have a foe But i would give it all up everything i knew I'd give up things i know and love so i could be with you

wow my lord, its very good, long but good! lots of different emotions running through it - one of your best. And Lorkin, love yours too, very good, wish i could write like both of you. Well Done. ^_^

Lovely Lorkin... 'soul of memories...life of tears" really like that Gem

I am having an angst free day today so I offer a very quick and simple and, ANGST FREE poem (well nearly angst free <lol>) The Gambler Throw of the dice Turn of the heart Lifes’ long lottery Keeps us apart I gambled with friendship Took a chance on your smile I reached out to touch you and we danced, for a while Turn of the card Fate takes a bow You look, but don’t see me I am lost - to you now. Gem

Very pleasant, I especially fall for the first verse. And it's pleasantly angst-free.
