Laura Mckenzie Poet Free verse

Solitary Poet

Dappled –gray above pausing to rush down
Reminding me of me
I turn my face away from you
Please don’t remind me of me
The darker side I try to hide 
Beneath my smiles and sunny days I feel your abruption
Cloaked in steel eyes and haunted thoughts 
Dark nights I wait for your falling 
Somewhere I can feel the bittersweet pain 
Bring on your rain… 
Bring on your rain…
I grasp for warmth somewhere 
Only to feel alone 
Let me leave this earthly place with some feat
This paper I write on has comforted me for so long 
I know now I could never be without its trust
Drawn to your channel of solace 
Bring on your rain…
Resting here in the dark

John Freeman October 26, 2009 at 12:10 PM I see where you're coming from Laura. Sometimes life's shades of gray, seems to be against our very life itself. But I found that if we will refuse to let our own minds dominate us, but instead reach deeper down into our very heart, that I find a strength that I can only atribute to God, himself. We must control our minds. Sincerely, Love, Moses

Mary Duhart October 8, 2009 at 5:25 AM Wow Laura sounds like something is trying to overtake you. A writers nightmare..lol..great emotional contents.

Carolyn Devonshire September 30, 2009 at 8:57 PM This is just how I've been feeling today, Laura. Very compelling poem, especially "Beneath my smiles and sunny days I feel your abruption." It's like two personalities in conflict with each other even though they inhabit the same mind. Well done, Laura! Love, Carolyn
