Despair Is a mad man

by samuel   Sep 27, 2004


Your thoughts are not too heavy for your heart
It is only foolery that makes it seem so
You think till you are hot
And then say you are sick
You cry in shameless misery
And lament your fate
Why me becomes a ballad
And you call the tune till tears drop
Despair is a mad man
Yet you befriend him
He goes causing a nuisance
But you seek him
Insanity has no friend they say
Still you go near to become mad as well
You go looking long and hard for gloom
If you are not mad, then you must be a fool
You do not pray
Nor invoke celestial beings
You do not sing
Nor chase dolour from your soul
You do not play
Nor fill your mind with gaiety
All you do is drone and cry
For all that has been
That should not
You make despair a nagging companion
And gain nothing by the business.

    You are a very passionate poem. Spirit and your heart and soul flow through the lines winding and intertwining with each word to make every letter come together as a whole. Very few males have I ever seen who can express their passion through poetry and it flow as well as yours. Very few males do I know that have a very high thought for poetry :) I have been writing poetry for only a year and a half. Most of the poetry I write is love and or sorrow. My love poems are for my boyfriend who makes me complete and the sorrowful poems are for the hate and hardships I must endure that are only a small part of life. This is a well written poem. I have read several of your works and I believe you are a great poet. Have you had any published? I've had only three so far. The hard thing is having a short enough poem that somebody will publish. The differences between you and I stand that you are short sweet and to the point whereas I am long, developed and explanitory. Also that I rhyme all of my poetry because I cannot bring myself to write something that does not. Point being: You're a great writer and I hope to read more of your work in the future. Keep me posted on new works. Very good piece. *5* Great Job
