Star-Filled Skies

Star-filled skies fall like broken snowflakes all around. I stand here and watch them melt as they hit the ground. But I notice that they’re only my tears; Of shattered dreams and forgotten fears. Frozen in shards, lost in my wretched mind. Knowing full well that they’re not one of a kind. Soon others gain knowledge of the demented things I do. That’s funny how they know, I wish I knew. Seeking through the shadows that overtake this place. It’s always been here, staring me in the face. I made my haunted world I so love to live. I wonder, is there enough of my life to give? Free me from the chains I use to bind my soul. How can I give, when I’m not completely whole? I stare through this “savage garden” with theses tear-stained eyes. As I gather the fading light to hide in my star-filled skies.

When I welcomed you to PoetrySoup I hoped that you would continue your writing and share it with us. Today I am asking you to please continue your poetry writing. Just write what is in your heart as that is where the best poetry comes from. I will stop back soon and hope to be able to read some new poetry from you at that time Stephanie. Love, Carol
