Edward Orozco Poet Dramatic Monologue

My Pen and My Soul

My pen and I 
Blood, ink to my verse
Spoken words of doubt taunt me
Solid shades of wisdom, many to see
My heart looks at me and sighs
Am I truly lost, I walk with no direction
Yet I find comfort in the waves
Waves of many, whom too are lost as I 
How I didn't even notice that joy was absent in my life
Has my heart truly hardened?
At least I fear the world less
So many point fingers, hypocrites!
They judge as they too are guilty 
What happens next, love is rare
This world used to be a loving place 
All ends and so does life
Taking dreams and faith alike
The shadow of man will remain 
But the faith? Where did it go
The son of man died for you
And yet many see it not
In you Jehovah the most high god I place my spirit
May my heart serve you well at your will
Amen.

Darlene Gifford September 6, 2014 at 12:20 AM Inspiring, creative and spiritual. I'm so glad I found this poem, Edward. And I like the way you end it with those last two lines. I feel your love for God and your commitment to Him. "May my heart serve you well at your will." You speak for me and many others in this poem. And I've noticed you know the poetic forms well. I have tried, but not much seems to stick. However, God helps me overcome this deficit by putting new poem rhythms in my head that guide my writing. :)
