Notes About The Poem

Mortally Wounded

Mortally wounded.
.
A ripple stirs upon the stagnant murky pool 
Of my darken tormented mind 
What would have my life
Have been like if my soul 
Hadn’t been battered 
My acid drenched heart imprisoned and confined
.
And that some great force hadn’t knocked me senseless
Leaving me like a run over as a rabbit 
Left on the side of the road scarlet flowing 
Like ravines of rain
Mortally wounded  
And in excruciating unbearable pain
.
To have found my other half
To fill a hole
Pick me up and make me smile
And have been a happy loving parent
To a needy playful child
. 
Beggars cannot be chooses
And the one’s with beautiful soul and heart
Are walked upon
And hapless losers
Tied to the rafters of cruel adversity 
. 
For once I dared to dream
I’d find a loving soul
To share my domain and kingdom
And be my devoted ruler of my heart
My Queen
.
I never asked to be born
Be plagued by demons
Have my life tossed away 
Like a piece of scrunched up paper
My heart ripped and torn
.
Once cursed by a gypsy
In search of silver 
But had not to give
How I hate life a ball and chain
And no longer
Want to live.

Akkina Downing January 16, 2021 at 8:53 PM I totally agree with Vic, this is a FABULOUS POEM! And I just want to say also, there are many who have been left brokenhearted from gold diggers... Fabulously done, my friend :)

Victor Buhagiar January 16, 2021 at 12:04 PM There are so many poems on the soup where poets don't comment. Pity. This is a fabulous poem. ~~ Peter Dome January 16, 2021 at 3:25 PM Hi Victor my friend. what's the point of posting and wasting good money if i was admin I'd sort all this out. nobody is thinking straight. i have been on around 100 poetry sites, none as bad as this. it undermines your confidence as a writer. makes me wonder if some,ae maybe out to pinch lines or poems.not everyone though.Same as the book a sham. Th] suddenly the price is up again. I still have a faulty book I can't send back.what a dirty trick.it's a case of who you know not what talent you have.I'm not against anyone who gets a lot of comments as some do. they often deserve it.Makes me feel my poems are rubbish. Thanks Pete take care.
