mother where are you now?

a single tear was formed
but was never shed...

mother do you love your child?
mother did you have to make it hurt?
mother why did you have to die?

...and a child was born
to the misery of loss,
seven fires of torture
conspired the end
and unto that end
i was born

(love haveth no place
for the child of sorrow)

wicked women
and faithless children
a conformity of
a loveless breed
swarm the frugal
mind of innocence

and so it begins
the end of a birth
never meant to be

darkness raging
at my side
(oh my)
the song bird
sings the eulogy
and the minister
has the last laugh

no tears
no tears

wilted and withered
i soldier on
furrowing deeper into
the catacombs of
the "unblessed"

sadness
tumult
essentially the
characteristics
the defines me

i am the child of sorrow
incarnate

where are the roses
that were promised
where are the gardens
lush with life
where is the love
that was never offered

mother?
where are you now?

mother?

alone i saunter
the sorrow
that has forever
coveted me

i am a child,
yet the end
seems more promising

maybe i'll find a home
in the soft cemetery
where only the grave
can comfort me

i can not continue
the life lives
in me no more

god have mercy
i'm coming home

will anyone care?

mother where are you now?

a single tear was formed

but it will never shed,

 

laughter

sounds of joy

field of bliss

 

things i will never know

    this is very deep and powerfully penned. painful and confused imagery weaving the emotion that seems so hard to acknowledge. just so happens i was listening to that song 'Weight' by Sarah Slean while reading this and it fit in such an unbelievable sense... well written and expressed. thank you for entering rich! take care!

    oh i care. i care. how i do care.

    the end pulled out so much distress from within me. you mean the WORLD rich, oh you do you do. don't let some things blind you from all the other wonders. oh don't don't, please don't.

    it just seems like such a plea for an answer, some sort of a response. oh rich.

    you always seem to evoke such emotions from me.

    oh rich oh rich, you will know those happy things, it is in store for you. just be patient. we all have to be patient.

    much much love,
    a distressed nadia.

      i know that you care, and there are several else that do care, but i spend so much time alone, its hard to think that anyone actually does.

      i'm alone most nights, and think nothing but maligned thoughts, and don't have anyone to console me, or comfort me. that may soon change, but who know's.

      but if nothing else it does inspire this writes of mine.

      thanks there kiddo

      thank you my queen. this was one of those poems that i wrote on the spot. so given that you said that it sucks you in is really great. i've sort of prided myself on being able to write things of good quality on the spot.
