Caged

Caged


                          Ill-fated dreams caged in the sphere of
                          
                          doom drowns in tears

                          Reawaked by the horde of indescribably

                          old unforgiving monsters

                          Facing fierce demons taunting the heart

                          battle to resist then go forth

                          Still forsaken and purposely condemned

                          by his rapidly corroding self-worth

Gershon Wolf Date: 12/30/2021 8:17:00 PM Seems as if the two -- 'ill-fated dreams' and 'corroding self-worth -- feed off of each other, creating a vicious cycle. ~ Just sayin' Login to Reply

Sotto Poet Date: 12/30/2021 5:49:00 AM The sentiment evoked by your poem is quite intense, Anselmo. This is a very moving piece of writing. 'Caged dreams' tell us a lot in silence. I hope that most of your life's goals and ambitions turn into reality. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a remark on my page.

Victor Buhagiar Date: 12/29/2021 12:39:00 AM Do you wish to forget your dreams or are they always with you. I pray for no dreams really because the ones I remember are nightmares. Login to Reply Anselmo Boles Date: 12/29/2021 11:23:00 AM My dreams for quiet sometime now, had been very vague and fragmented. This poem is about goals in life that were unfulfilled, and guilt taunts the mind to the extreme, that his dignity and determination turned into desperation and despair. I hope your future dreams will be pleasant and inspiring. Cheers Victor!...ab

Valsa George Date: 12/28/2021 4:47:00 PM This is a highly poignant write. 'Caged dreams' speak silently in volumes. In a way life is a battlefield . We have to trample over the carcasses of dead dreams many a time. The emotion your poem evokes is so very powerful, Anselmo !
