Some will savor their sorrow
They claim the pain defines them
No love they beg or borrow
Disdain takes aim and binds them
Some will survive their sorrow
They claim the rain reminds them
Of love they'd beg to borrow
No pain they claim defines them
I am a sorrowful ghoul,
With a tear in my eye that refuses to fall,
A hollow stomach thirsting for life,
But a soulless body, full and satisfied...
All concrete jungles we create cannot soothe the soul.
The Foreboding structures of our prison brings in woe.
It surrounds us, enticing a lonely heart into sorrowful tears.
We wander around, lost in meaningless life over the years.
We try to distract ourselves from this lonely lament.
Clinging onto things, a lonely love, and connections, not sent.
Alone, we bathe in deep reflection of wondering who we are.
We capture the slight essence of a calling, calling from afar.
Dark terrors of night, prey on the innocent, drinking their fear.
Trembling, as hate echoes painful words with disdain and a sneer.
Oh, the horizon yields a blue light of hope and promise.
We are willing to follow the whispering call as it insists.
We walk an arduous path of trepidation and uncertainty.
Our heart now knows that we will be fine with wonders to see.
The twilight surrenders to the warm beautiful sun of life.
Gaia breathes into her whispering wind emanating life's light.
Gaia gathers life to herself as we feel love pulsating on the Earth.
It is given to us as we merrily embark on our ascension of birth.
It never shines for the most ,
it is enshrouded by heavy, leaden
clouds.
Shines for the few extremely
well.
They shape it with great
care and it never touches
them and
the other suffer systematically.
Their shoulders never withstand
His sonorous voice .
They always seek shelter
from the rainy happiness.
Oh Lord ,Oh Lord ,i beg you,
i beg you to obliterate
the inhuman, gold.

SORROWFUL SONG
Pain of separation
penned a lyric
mesmeric
melody of music.
oozing lamentation.
Tune resonating in purity
on sullen sadness
in morose madness
and crooning cadence
touching grief-stricken beauty.
Sorrowful song! Fantastic fantasy
on charm of ethereal ecstasy.

Sixth place
A Brian Strand Premier Choice
Contest by Brian Strand
Come before you Father with shame in my heart;
Apologetic and sorrowful it remains I am in the dark;
So thoughtful yet thoughtless I do in part;
Repentance I am sorry Father forgive me my sins give me a new start;

Many of my thoughts dwell in the past
Surely, I longed to feel the breeze of your touch
Each day feels like a drag
Down is where I pick myself up
Please hear me when I say
I say my heart is in vain
Begged for it to come at peace to fix a broken piece
Please listen to me when I say
I say my soul is unease
Wished to mend it with no more broken piece
We all know what is life!
But the thing that we don't know
Is the sorrow caused in our life
With the end of someone
Who is our most nearly one.
The only thing which makes our feeling hurt
Is the sorrowful event of our life.
Same happens to me
When I lost some
Lovely one
But nothing was not in my hand.
So that I can do some grand
I felt grief when I thought that
I am not able to saw him last time.
My luck is not supporting me
I not even seen him for the last time.
With full of questions which I want to ask him
Left in my mind
Hey! God ,Why you took my grandfather
With you along.
This is sorrowful event of my life remains in my mind.
When one makes a mess;
it is always best,
to clean it up when someone, makes a wrong choices;
A bit that angered voice;
I s always best;
To request forgiveness;
And sorrowful revelation;
I request, forgiveness...

In an ancient castle, in a terrible, sorrowful dungeon,
The guide showed the tourists a skeletons scatter.
Tourists whispered in horror: - Who dumps them?
The guide gloomily dropped: - It is already not matter,
Irrelevant who they are, but ask yourself:- Why?
People attempted to save money on guide?
A HEARTFELT ACTION
It was a bitter, gloomy, windy day,
The sun didn’t show us even a ray
It was raining buckets of torrential rain
A vendor stood shivering and in pain
With only a t-shirt on his back,
We were cozy, we did a backtrack,
My father jumped out of the warm car,
The sorrowful human being wasn’t far
Picking up stubs, smoking, had no packet
Dad ran in the rain taking off his jacket,
Helped the drenched man to put it on,
So he didn't think my father was a con,
Oh what a darling Dad I had, such a kind
Soul, a heart of gold, and a thoughtful mind!
He put a hundred rand in the man’s pocket,
He noticed his eyes were deep in their socket,
The vendor was shocked his silence a thank-you
My father nodded, he was touched, for he knew!
