Debbie Duncan Poet Dramatic Verse

Brimming With Echoes

Brimming with echoes of their past
When I dream of theses places 
I sometimes feel alone here
I look around me and all I see
Is a nothing a void in place 
I should  be happy and free

What is it that you tell me to do
Where is it that you tell me to go
Where I should go in this desert 
Why should I stay in this desert
There is nothing for me  there
I seek refuge out of all this mess
I seek out a friendly face to hold 

A friendly face to hold me 
To comfort me in sad times 
And keep me from the cold 
Cold dark damp places I see
Sad times of sorrow and grief
I choose to leave this place 
Seek the road to  happiness

Duke Beaufort April 22, 2017 at 6:06 PM Yes and Yay. No point sticking around in hell if there is a ticket on an outgoing plane. You are too sweet to stick it out in desert hell.

Andrea Dietrich April 5, 2013 at 6:26 PM Still loving the ending of this one. How you choose to leave and seek happiness. Can't seem to find a poem I have not read yet. I am clicking in circles. haha.

Terry O'Leary March 9, 2013 at 9:49 AM Mostly, that's the best/only 'therapy' ('seek the road...')... Nice, sad (with hope) poem... Terry (You have a lot of 'echo' poems, all of them well done!) Debbie Duncan March 9, 2013 at 12:06 PM Thanks for reading Terry ;}

Robert Johnson August 7, 2012 at 7:31 PM This endless dreary that drags us down. We wake in the morning still wearing a frown. We look up to heaven to answer our plight. Awaiting an angel to get through the night. Debbie Duncan August 7, 2012 at 8:05 PM yes the endless tail-end of a relationship that drags you down ;} ,,, thank you for reading ;}
