Notions

Tonight I died Cold and lonely, Caught between regret and peace. Life hereafter for me will cease, but not from existence; Rather from cruel intentions, inflected pain from a host of honorable mentions. journeys of ascensions and descents into madness; Surely they are my birth right. For Fortnights I have contemplated, Indecisive with the notion; Poisoned by dreams and haunted by quotation. The part of me that has passed shall no longer be mourned; Goodbye dear self, hello dear scorned.

Your command over language in this poem was excellent: "Life hereafter for me will cease, but not from existence; rather from cruel intentions ..." You captured my attention right away. Well penned. Check out blog and tell me about your poem :)

Bonapart, welcome to PoetrySoup my new friend. You searched your soul and promised not to "mourn" the part that died. It is cultural, stemming from ancient days, in some societies to traditionally seem cruel. They do not think to do this. Just move on and force your inner soul to write about happier times if you can.

Border lining on this culture, descendants from these ones could "cu"t you with their words if you allow them; especially if you want to try Something New - there goes the discouragement! Be Happy in God's own way!

Sincerely, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
