Side Effect

SIDE EFFECTS What's real; the pills or the dreams. The absence of my queen, Days without meals I think, am at lifes bream. Consciousness, but a thing To far for a starved soul of loves doing, My days are but a grave For time wouldn't bury the pain. Thinking I was brave Her absence will drain The hope that echoes Our journey to follow My pretend; the chaos War in the pillows A story with no hero Now I am just a zero For the side effect left me a widow.

Paul, 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 <-@
