Ashes

by Maple Tree   Dec 9, 2012


When a soul is caged,

trapped in bars, etched

in marigolds,

a woman writes the

words that tangle

upon lips, refusing to

express her fears.

Suddenly she sees an ending,

embracing the

darkness, worrying

for her loved ones,

each day the worry

grows, expanding

poetry to end

in silence....

    Personally i like the simplicity of this poem. It shows that through everything you persist and continue to worry about htose you love... Worrying about everything

    Now how it ends in silence scares me, Think about it... It ends it silence usually means something permanent has happened like death or something else like that. Yeesh, and you say you dont write very emotional writes. How did I inspire you at all *shakes my head*

    This also reminds me of when my friend attempted something and i worried about her all day long... Forever and ever and ever...
    Its what people do, and trust me its more then just girls i know plenty of guys that worry.

    Females express it better though >.> Hands down.

    Thank you!

    Edit: Just noticed the title. Ashes really does remind me of death... <3 Maybe someone was in trouble?

    You have just reminded me of why I hate being a woman...emotional little worrier I am...ugh

    Agree with Hellon, the use of marigold is just beautiful!!

    sigh*...cant even comment, to relatable to break a part and try and see your side and analyze it. I read, I comprehend, I feel the same way...
