Lost [Double Huitain]

by Twisted Heart   May 16, 2007


Upon the night there lies a breath
Forever shaken by the stars
Inside the distant heart a death
That sets the soul of whom we are
Content to feel the painful scar
We harness not a memory
But take the hurt inside our heart
And let it live on faithfully

A madness dwells forever more
Inside the mind no sanity
The pain has cut the very core
And stayed the voice of purity
Now wounds have marked the memory
Forever lost inside our breath
The innocence that once was free
Is now consumed by silent death.

    What a great job you did with this form. Imagery and word choices were amazing.

    Content to feel the painful scar
    We harness not a memory
    But take the hurt inside our heart
    And let it live on faithfully

    These lines really got me right in the heart.
    Excellent job Jeannie
