When Sadness Haunts

Bewildered and haunted through flashes of memories that relive themselves I sit and ponder and look into the sky there is no pain greater than been lost in SELF battling with a STRONG shadow called SADNESS she stalks and haunts and bring you moments of agony she comes along with her sister ANGUISH and they taunt you, galvanising and pinpointing your mind to the PAST you left behind OH SADNESS! ! ! ! ! ! ! have you not rendered men a roaming wretch for years? are you not content with the tears you have drank from your millions of subscribers? are you not pained because of happiness and her many gifts? when will you leave the vulnerable ones and stop feeding on their weaknesses? for how long will you continue to taunt MEN with their horrible past and perceived failure? You are hopeless and weak and so you feed on people's misery alongside with your heartrending sister called ANGUISH Leave us alone, for we do not want to commune with you you are meant to die alone, but you have garnered so many souls as your followers reminding them of their most terrible past conjuring pieces of AGONY and feeding them with misery's venom you are a witch SADNESS and you dwell in the dark you mesmerise us with beautiful tragedies and allure us into your deep seeking kingdom ARISE run away from sadness before she infects you with her incurable disease SADNESS has no home and so she roams Ovi Odiete© 2016 All Rights reserved.

Ovi,, 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 <-@

Thank.you Skat. I have been publishing in poem hunter for long now and have been writing for a while. However I just found this site and hope to enjoy it, although I discovered that there are some features not available for new writers. But I am very glad and excited about your comment. Thank you very much.
