Meadow Morada Poet Free verse

Shallow Abyss

I always try to shake this feeling
Yet it kept on creeping inside of me
That of being lonely not knowing why
Emptiness no one and nothing can fill

I don’t want it but it’s what I bear
Foolish wistfulness or sheer ennui
At an age when none is challenging
At a time when everything is routine

Atypical of a Gemini as I am
I can’t stand static intransience
I want to float in the air and fly
To be in the open ocean and swim 

But for what, I do not exactly know
For when the tears fall I always ask why
Why do I crave for life when I am alive?
Why do I feel empty when I am full of me?

Suddenly adrift in a shallow abyss 
For thoughts that were unfulfilled
Things I should have done but haven’t
Times that should have been well spent

But I had overcome all that, or have I?
Sometimes the brain mars how we feel
Vague emotions bursting pointless tears
For what I cannot twig…I will just weep!

Skat A March 19, 2016 at 12:16 AM Meadow, Welcome to Poetry Soup. It will be a delight to read and become familiar with your poems in the future. As for now, I will greet you with the same smile others passed when I first joined the soup. Wishing you and your poetry the best. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here STARTING with me- SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you wish. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND" Hugs* SKAT Meadow Morada March 21, 2016 at 1:01 PM Hi! Thanks for the warm welcome. Writing poetry is a high school hobby but haven't been writing for a long time until I started again in 2014. Writing becomes a therapy after the death of my husband and mother. Have done more than a 150 and I want to share my poetry to this site in the hope of inspiring new poets and more so for me to learn from the pros. Would be nice to find a friend here early on. :) :)

Poet Destroyer A March 16, 2016 at 8:54 PM Meadow, 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 you're 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. You're New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@ Meadow Morada March 17, 2016 at 8:45 PM Thank you for welcoming me on this site. I sure will take time to read your poems and those of the others and will be joining contests too.
