Drummed heart

by Wings Of Flames   Jul 2, 2006


I look into the furnished room,
And see but empty chairs,
Closed blinds and hearts,
I guess no one should care,

I see into a truer side,
With daggers, arrows, ice,
Burdened me with nothing,
But chance of rolling dice,

I find but no one looking,
No words. No sound. No friend,
Gone forever missing,
Goodbye, for now I end.

I've asked too many questions,
With too many cuffed wrists,
I'm dying on this last mountain,
With unforgiving mists,

This game is at it's end,
For I'm forgetting to forget,
I'm living in the past,
Or my future and what is set,

The drummer boy has stopped,
The harp is now to sing,
Drummer boy sits down to cry,
What will my future bring?

Colours of the rainbows,
I used to see the light,
Sunshine smeared to brown,
I'm closed without my sight,

I feel a creeping sensation,
No trust. No more. No dawn.
Fuel has burnt me to the end,
No more am I reborn.

    Hmm...I don't know if it was better than the others or not, but it was certainly a good poem. Five and six were my favorite stanzas, manily because of a brillaint line in each 'For I'm forgetting to forget' and 'What will my future bring', but also because of their flow and rhythm. There were other lines I liked, but none as much as ''For I'm forgetting to forget', that was pure brillaince in my opinion.

  • Great poem. The flow was excellent and it showed alot of emotion.
    The rhyming wasnt forced either.
    Thanks for the comment.
    Good job 5/5

    Oh my goodness, such a powerful poem. I loved it, it flowed perfectly.

    "For I'm forgetting to forget"

    I fcuking absolutely loved that line! It really captivated me. It was a tad contradicting to itself, but that's part of what I truly enjoyed about it. 5/5 =]
