M. Hussain Effendi Poet Rhyme

Hope Unrelenting

Drifted along with vicious tides
A soul in distress, lost, astray
No reason to reincarnate life
A lifeless burden, here, I lay

In caress of the finest, a desired reverie
My dwelling, a fantasy of idyllic presence
Behind the facade, a spirit yearns to be free
My world, as hollow as its glitter, in essence

Forsaken by all, yet I thrive to exist
Holding on to a beacon near end
At the verge of sanity, I strive to resist
For a glimpse of your smile gives me life my friend

Jslambert Mister Roboto November 6, 2011 at 3:50 PM reverie---I love this word. It was on the tip of my tongue on a poem I wrote last night! Nice poem! I appreciate your words. You are right...I should post more...BUT, unfortunately I write all my poems out on paper first. Typing is so tedius to me. Once I write a poem, I am done and over it:) This is the same reason I do not edit or change my poems. It is like a special moment in time, not for me to mess with, I guess??? Peace!
