Memoirs of Gloom

by Yakori bint Muhammed   Sep 28, 2012


25th September, 2012.

Lush pain deafened my thoughts,
inside my steamy head like a bomb.

Calling on peace to shield my sight,
as misty water stabs me in the eye.
Straining heavily on my spine,
ripping me open to utter shock.

Like a fog, pale shadow sings,
to my violated heart to smile.
To sweep aching memories,
smeared to blast its existence.

Cringing in lavish trauma,
waiting for a ray of sign.
A star blinds my studded vision,
seeking to relive a dire path in my memoir.

I rippled like a stone in the pond,
sinking me open to hope.
Alas! I sprung out from the blue,
floating atop the colourless deepness.

I beamed as the sun shined across my face,
my test underneath was furtively a blessing.

    I really relate to this poem, i think we all go through troubles or tribulations in life and your vivid description was amazing but what i lied the most were the uplifting words towards the end of the piece, amazing as usual

    I get this idea of being desperate and powerless and hopeless. But sometimes, we can see the brighter side of pain, that we gain hope once again.

    I rippled like a stone in the pond,
    sinking me open to hope.

    ^ This simile is creatively penned, almost like the crux of your idea. Lovely write, Yakori!

    Yakori, this is amazing!! Loved the nature in this piece. I often find no matter the topic, adding nature metpahors seem to make a poem totally beautiful.

    I love what you're saying here. Sometimes we go througn trials in life. Get blinded, feel defeated, exhausted, but in the end, sometimes its just a blessing in disguise and something that needs to happen.

    Awesome poem, awesome message. Loved this!
