Turning Away From the Light

by LadyPearl   Apr 21, 2006


**Free-styled no-rhyme poem***

Winter's wind lash across my face
Barren and cold in my dying soul
Too long has I waited in hope
Finally turning away from the light
My faith in better things lie
In my wailing tomb of menace
Tears only scar my ivory face
As God watches without pity
The venomous dreams enclose me
Leading me away to darkness
Prayers cease to help me out
Left alone in unmerciful fogs
Just a mistake left in the open
Starving, bleeding for some love
But light has denied me of rights
And has taken away my faith
No matter how the snow stains red
Only echos fly in the Heavens
Just a mere shadow to them
Of unimportance in fate's eyes

Forsaken Angel, can't you hear me
I'm drinking my own tears of sorrow
Mighty forces, won't you lift me
Away from the burning flames of Hell
What is this cruelty that is shown
Hearts are parting in loneliness
No one's there to watch me fall
No one cares if death swallows me now
I'm just an insignificant being
Wandering the trees of solemn songs
Tormented yet unable to break free
I've given up all hopes and dreams
Turning away, turning away from the light

    I don't often read many of any one poet's work. Generally I'll read a few, comment on one or two that I like and hope that they'll return the favour..But I've R/R/C'd three of yours now and I'm not sure I want to stop! I really love your writing, everything is so well considered, it's truely amazing writing and I can't wait to see more! Definately adding you to my favourites...*goes off to add*...x

    I am also a sucker for freeverse...which is why I love this
    You may want to break it up into stanzas a bit or its hard to read and loses the rhythm, but only if that is possible
    The rest was so sad and beautifully written, with good choice of language
    KEep writing :)
