Abberations of a Flailing Mind

The morning births a new day's sun Revealing night's shadowed pun Why this road, you ask of me? Something wrong, I've done to thee? My body weighs like anchored ships No words I speak from quivering lips My hands are bound, my mind is spent As thoughts incarnate my lovers scent. My sight is scant, a labored breath Desperate cries, My soul near death Each beat my heart now pays its dues For loving you was mine to choose I lye in angst, a tattered seam A chapter closed on lover's dream Oh my lord, my dearest friend I pray to thee in hopes to mend This broken heart, of saddened tale To find the truth where others fail My dearest God I crave thee now Since my love has flown to thou These answers that I fail to find Aberrations of a flailing mind Imprison me from heavens love And make me doubt my God above But I will not let idle mind Keep me from my destined time For life is short and one day near I'll hold the one I love most dear So steadfast will I trust in him And never doubt my God within.

I love the meaning in your words. And how it ends with so much trust in God. Very nice, Bernard.

Bernard, finding myself on a road with no answers. Sometimes I wonder what have I done, and what has gone wrong... but, you are right. I have to find my trust in God. Doubt does me no good. God bless....pd

Hi Linda, When my wife died It took me many months before I could gain my faith back. Allow yourself time to grieve and be mad if you feel like, God understands. He loves us and always will. Big Hugs

David is right about your faith...I questioned my faith after Joshua passed..take a look at "Piece Within" it's a Ghazal that David helped me format. It's similar to your emotions in this piece. I feel your pain and doubt... (You may locate it towards the mid to bottom of my 1st page)..xx Holly Moore

Bernard your doubt in faith is justified at the moment, but you have an ability to write in a way that holds the reader, this is also couplet form and it would be better visually if you space each couplet, if you need any help just ask or soup any of us, click on the envelope and cup by our names and you can then send a private message and get one in return....

Thank You Audonus, that means a lot to me as I am very new to poem writing. I really do not know anything about technical poem writing I just write what comes from my heart. I want to learn more though. Thanks so much for the reply. Bernard
