Praying for the Sunrise

by Twisted Heart   Nov 4, 2006


Sleep eludes me
My blanket tossed in disarray
Another night of loneliness
is upon me.

Countless times
I have been awaken from dreams
Too painful to remember
Yet I must.

Upon broken promises
I tend the heart that has forsaken me
It dwells within this soul
that now weeps.

A constant battle of wills
Between heart and soul and mind
Now from the depths of night
I pray for the sunrise.

Hidden just beyond
Thoughts that have clouded my choices
By the memories of what we shared
but will never have again.

Distant, is the light
That breaks the darkness that has come
Ever so slowly into my mind
it will drift... if given time.

    Hmm, and why don't you like this my Dear? I love it. It didn't rhyme, which is a new breath of air for me lol. Corny, I know - but normally all of your poems rhyme. So it was nice to see you broaden your talent and show it off - great job hunn!

    Wonderful write. Flows so nice, and the structure is great, Once again, seems you are not one for rhymes, but you are deffenitly good at making it flow without any. Great Job!!!

    I like this style. It's different, and it doesn't rhym. People always tell me that it's not a poem unless it rhyms. So, I hate all of my work. I think I only have one or two poems that rhym a few times. Keep up the good work! =]

    I guess this just isn't my favorite of your work...it's very different from your usual style, and I'm not sure I really like it. Sorry to be critical. As you know, I normally love your poems...look forward to reading more! Jpoet*
