Lost

by Liquid Grace   Sep 13, 2011


Embers burn with malicious intent
the ashes spread a heavy blanket
intoxication, separation, terrified
Unsure.

Darkness consumes, vertigo sets in.
shouts and pleas echo a mere murmur
helpless, confusion, anger
Alone.

The raging fire of life dwindles,
tears flood the unseen floors.
defeated, tired, empty
Lost.

    This poem is strong and really struck a chord with me. I felt the emotion behind each stanza and was deeply moved by your words. Short yet well said and heartfelt. A very interesting piece as I found myself not only relating to the poem as I could make it fit around a situation I have found myself but the poem also made me curious as to what led you to write something so powerful. A gripping piece.

    5/5

      Many have asked what this was about.

      I figure it's time to answer that question. On the 10 anniversary of 9/11 they showed all of the video stories from the day. Watching the video's made me very emotional seeing what they went through watching the cloud of ash and rubble go into nearby buildings, how dark peoples camera's went, how they couldn't breath, how they felt so lost in those moments, I could feel that pain, I could feel how scared they were. I had to write about it.

    I see you have a down/voting fairy in your life. Absolute childish. Excellent poem and jealousy rears it's ugly head. Be proud of the low votes ,,envy ..what a strange word :-)

    I like your choise of words throughout the poem, very descriptive!!
    And the way you ended each stanza with a one word line was a nice touch, unsure, alone, lost, it kinda sums it all up, great write, though i hope these feelings are soon escaped!! and thank you for welcoming me to the club.
    Good Luck and God Bless!!
