Sandbox

by Twisted Heart   Dec 28, 2006


The tears are an oasis inside my heart of stone
Littered with the sands of time as I trudge alone

Hampered by the burden of a dream that lost its glow
Floundering persistence of a life I used to know.

Within the depths of bottled love, a heart cries out in pain
As it sits in desert lands, waiting for the rain.

To quench my soul with a mist, of a lucid storm
Something to remind me of feeling loves sweet warmth.

Would I find a comfort of a distant fantasy
Within the winds that blow the sands for eternity.

Or am I now and forever doomed, to the desert's hand
That blankets this old broken soul with its endless sand.

    Cool poem. i thought this was going to be a reminiscent poem aobut being a child or somehting. but it really amazed me! i loved the offbeat rhyming and longer lines[couplets]. it was well done and the language you used was good as well.

    An EXCELLENT write. I've been writing some with a similar style though I'm not sure I've got your way with words. One I have that kinda reminds me of this style is "Found Me In You." Good job Twisted Heart!
