River of Gold

by Wings Of Flames   Jul 3, 2006


The sparkling river dust,
Settles in the mist,
Escaping every corner,
And cupped between my fists,

I swear to tell no lie,
I'm always missing you,
The cracks still seep in my heart,
That any dream will do,

River bending sorrow,
But still has it's spark,
In the cover of the night,
It wishes for no more dark,

Trees shading its wonder,
When is it going to end?
I'm crying in to this river,
And searching every bend,

Where is this light?
WHy does the rainbow fade?
Gone I'm leaving now,
Into the shadows of the shade.

    I'm not liking how some of your poems are downvoted. You really deserve better for this one! A good way to end the poem. Liked the rhymes in this one too.

    Maybe this one is my favorite? Maybe not? I don't know. But I am adding you to my favorites... I like your work. But this one was excellent. Again, your choice of words. It flowed beautifully and it had a very deep expression behind it. I loved it.

    I like the sensational imagery used. There's a few lines I'm unsure about what is going on. For instance, escaping every corner -- I get the notion it has to do with fluidity, but I'm not sure.

    'Cracks still seep in my heart'

    Cracks don't seep, but through them things do.

    From around the third stanza it seems like you've lost your focus, or focused too much on one aspect.

    Shadows of the shade is redundant.

    I liked it, but thought an edit could do some good.
