Odds and Ends

Lone in the nightmare of the day I dream And go beyond its comforting stream Around hopes fountain I phantomly sit Confused yet happy at a dramatic skit Wafting through the years with conditions Dancing to songs of hope’s warm invention I remember the part I fell beneath a trench Where my elixir of love was utterly quenched Words fell from my mouth like a baby’s droll Buried by its tides under a moonlight pool I Fought inner demons with my bare hands Reverting dreadful void in my ego strands I tremble loosing myself in the maelstrom Yet I felt the pain until it hurt no more I shout into the void my jagged thoughts In the velvet dim of the night scape And in the unrelenting mayhem of it all I found lost verses In the christened twilight Somewhere beyond the halted rainbow I rise from my feeble frailty to find my halo I take a look back through the stills i took. locked deep within my heart like closed book Everything I am and everything am not Untethered by these ways my old self Begot.

Kofi A, 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 <-@
