Whisper Unheard

Relentless venom in a still river 
seeing out it's weak.
Tainted beauty cries
pure, sweet, eternity.

What was then
could not be now.
Such tales surely hold 
mistaken ground.

A whisper heard,
a voice in the wind,
Shadows sweep over,
darkness begins.

With each taste
there's little pain.
His burning venom 
numbs my veins.

Rid me from such despair,
beyond this paralyzed nightmare.

Bring me back to that still river,
let me hear such tales again.
Let the wind voice it's worries,
before it's darkness see's me in.

Kimberly, 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 <-@
