Enlighten

Don't walk away this time!
Feeling disbarred.......
Feeling damaged.....

Echos of lifeless whimpering....
Tears reverberate through....

WON'T THEY STOP...........
CREEPING IN, LIKE FAKE PEOPLE DO

Their
mouth opens and starts a festering spew.
Trying to bring to the door, something right,
something true.

As my faith, it grows.
And as it grew.
As you know.
And you always knew.

I live life like there's no tomorrow.
Like your blues... I borrow
life and artfully twist the grain.

Like being insane,
like feeling the rain
gently turn the soul.

And flowers come alive and face the sun...........

    Like a rainy Sunday afternoon

    wrought with ego-crushing self-pity and oceans of tears, this piece had me on my knees, brought me up from the floor and slowly turned my tear stained face to hope.


    I love it.

    This poem was so easy to read, and so easy to feel. And throughout all of this ease, you've managed to integrate something complex-- a rhetoric that is the antithesis of the literature. An ideal that's much more than your words would let on. A very terrific job.

    When a poets mind transcends into darkness and his thoughts become the light of heart felt emotions that he uses to engrave
    Upon his own flesh then his pen recieves a blessing and he creates an immortal picture to open up the eyes of the blind
    This an amazing write thank you for allowing me to read and comment on your work..
