Crestfallen

by Poetically Speaking   May 17, 2006


I am,

Is living and the price I bestow in my vindication not enough?

Are my trials not the same or equal to that of another man?

I need,

Am I unlike my neighbor, mesmerized in his maze?

Are my endeavors which ensnare my world not of equal pittance to his?

I owe,

And in my self righteous and paramount quest, in this life;

my wrongs have caused pain, I know I will exit with a tab.

I want,

Then there would be her, the breath powering my words.

My piece of mind that bears fruit to all that moves me.

Her.

She comes in many forms, a crestfallen voice of many a friendly reminder.

Yet her scent will forever sequence the embroidery which lines my heart.

    Your poem had so much depth to it that it didn't feel like reading words but watching the scene being played out with vivid imagery. It wasn't the ususal love poem, and I loved that. The format was different but wonderful. Allowing breaks if the reader needs but keeping their attention all the same.
