Rooms

Let those who see fit dwell in empty rooms
Enveloped by darkness, not understood
Drenched in self-pity that loudly consumes
A world they've chosen, I care not nor would
As though their pains run deeper or longer
A blackened hood of loneliness to wear
Invisible disguise, to seem stronger
This fatal thought of illusion, life cares
First and last breath are both silent givens
The world between is but a changing choice
Decisions decided, never forgiven
When the heart and head speak with separate voice


Lonely the rooms filled with cries from hearts lyre
A song of sorrow and anguished desire

Frederic, . I hope you don't mind your placement in my contest. Out of past experience, I know many don't like when I don't have a first or second placement. However, this is my judgment, and it only feels right, to place each poem, in the order I would have, as if there had been a first or second placement. Believe me, I'm not taking from you or your winning poem. Hugs, and enjoy my blog, "Conundrum" if you'd like. Have yourself a sweet day. ...always Linda

Hi Frederic, I don't think we've met. I enjoy your skillfully crafted poems, and this one is especially goo. I argue with people about choice, genetics--nature vs nurture all the time. The question, how much choice do we have, given genetics, environment and the rest. Like the movie, Trading Places. I don't have the answer, but you raise a powerful question. Kudos. Mel :)
