Monody

I subside but not the rain I revel in the falling pain All my words come out inane All my thoughts scream insane I know that this should not be real But that can’t stop the way I feel I am unable to reseal The wound that Time will never heal The dark miasma in my brain Comes forward with banners of the slain My thoughts whirl by on a black train The dark miasma is my bane Your death doth tell me to be strong And I’ve your memory to prolong But yet I do still ever-long To sing with you a final song I place my roses on your grave And listen to you in the breeze And on your tomb I do engrave Your shape in shadows from the trees

"Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Domitius, 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 <-@
