Treasure

by Synh   Mar 10, 2006


Tears stream down my cheek
I watch you fly away
To a kingdom unknown
A paradise of better days

A place of love is your stay
Emotions haunt nevermore
Sin is not a fear here
Surroundings so pure

Lies are no longer an issue
The truth is what you find
No more rage and hatred
Peace too complicated for the human mind

So comforting for me now
The memories we shared
Close to my heart they stay
Forget them I wouldn't dare

To the end of my days
I'll mourn you forever
You were my only love
My only true treasure

I was looking at a picture of Correta Scott King when MLK died and it inspired me to write it. :)

    Sin is not a fear here
    [[I love this line with all my heart.]]

    Lies are no longer an issue
    The truth is what you find
    No more rage and hatred
    Peace too complicated for the human mind
    [[Though in this sentence the first three lines contridict the last one...]]

    Anyways.
    I like this poem, but I felt you might have been able to say more. It felt unfinished to me. The fourth stanza should have had more after it and then the last stanza as the last stanza. Perhaps that's only me, but I felt it very unfinished.
