Fragile angel
Fragile angel, I hope you find your peace
You were so afraid to spread your wings Look at you now you're soaring through the skies with all your beauty to a place far from here A place you've been dreaming of A place without burden I hear the sun shines much brighter there And won't hurt your eyes It only warms and frees your soul Tell me... Is it true? Is there love for everyone? Have you been relieved of those burdens you carried for so long? Is it all better now? Are you finally at peace? As you rise from the twilight, don't look back Embrace your happiness and I'll be okay I'll get there someday For all we know, paradise may be a lie All we know is what we've been told and with little question we keep our faith in the word I don't know much about heaven and if it really exists anywhere But I have spent countless nights wishing I was there So I choose to believe it's more real than anything we can touch So fragile angel, I think you'll be okay... Have you seen the ones we loved so many years ago? I can only imagine how magical it feels to be in the presence of the ones we've lost again Maybe one day when I find my way home like you, I won't need to imagine So no matter how old I may grow and how long it takes me Promise you'll remember my face I'll remember yours... And I hope you'll be waiting for me once I enter those pearly gates Last edited by LuneLight; 02-15-2012 at 05:39 PM. |

LuneLight,
Your poems feel very personal and honest to me as you touch wistfully on relationships that never existed quite like you wish, and on the joy and pain you experience. I like especially those moments when the possibilities you dream about and the realities you face struggle with each other and you wonder which will win and whether hope is reasonable. Pessimism and optimism seem to be pressing against each other in your poetry, both trying to fill the space but neither able to do so fully and permanently. I feel your poems are particularly memorable when they focus on that conflict. Here are some of my favorite moments in your poems: Quote:

Hope is Evanescent
You waste another night waiting on a miracle
A miracle that'll change everything A shooting star that'll finally grant your only wish Though that day may never come it helps to be hopeful But also hurts never knowing if your faith has any worth With eager eyes waiting to see that dark cloud parting to reveal something other than the lifeless firmament There's always nothing... No more reasons to believe that some day there'll be a rainbow to see I am so tired and my eyes are weak Maybe this is all there is... Tonight my emotions surface... They weigh a lifetime of wrong on my chest I've lost faith in the power of dreams and I'm beginning to feel the distance between reality and fantasy Time to close those books of fiction that convinced me of a better world And let the past perish in defeat.

Unworthy soul
There's nothing left to do...
No choices left to make. Every road thus far, i've followed to a dead end Along the way I found and lost what I thought were friends. This time I choose to wander these woods alone. The moonless sky will be my only shelter Voices sing to my soul & call me to a desolate lake This lake is home to evanescent memories drifting within so zealously. The cold promises to numb every thought that torments me I wouldn't have to fight once I'm sound asleep When winter turns the ripples above me to ice So shall it freeze the pain in my eyes Sinking, I let the dark swallow me. I'm left with no light... Only the despondence that echoes in my mind The time that never passes feeds the feeling of ennui No salvation... No relief Like the rest of the forgotten, I found myself unworthy Last edited by LuneLight; 04-13-2017 at 09:17 PM. |

Hide your eyes from me
A thousand butterflies sparkled in your eyes
A different kind of love is born into the sky... The day turns to night and the music stops... It goes quiet when you say goodbye... I open my mouth to let out the lies that would make you stay and bury the hurt I fall into the earth and lather my skin in dirt I embrace the purgatory that i'm worth Fly away, fly away... Leave me down here Spread your wings and leave me with nobody to talk to Fly away, fly away... Take the life with you as you go Leave me alone with nothing to take the place of you... As I watch you leave, you hide your eyes from me... Countless days and endless nights i've tried doing what's right While I face the war in me, I see couples taking flight They were all strong enough to be lifted and freed But i'm still waiting for answers down on my knees The waiting makes me tired... It never comes to an end Nothing fills me with the same life that I felt when you looked at me Fly away, fly away... Leave me grounded by nothingness Fill your lungs with your freedom, i'll fill mine with darkness Fly away, fly away, take the love as you soar Paint the skies with your dozen shades of happiness and i'll paint my heart grey... As I watch you leave... As I watch you ascend... You embrace your freedom and hide your eyes from me... |
