Jerome,
That is beautiful and sad, the depth of feeling very touching. The repitition of the phrase "you wander, all alone," seems to have an almost heaving plodding feeling and you use it throughout the poem. Very effective use of the same line to evoke a feeling of repeating without purpose or direction. . . . . wandering. Well done, Baby Bro!

For Heather
May the sun always shine on your shoulders May the stars always shine in your eyes May you fly forever wild and free Across the empty skies May you come to rest on the golden strands May you find the place where your sorrows ease May you find the golden lands Beyond the sunlit seas I know that you have slipped away from me I know that you are not completely gone. Tucked away inside my heart A part of you lives on. |

Since this one was deleted:
Regret The morning finds you still asleep, Lying, still clothed, in a crumpled heap, Trapped in a nightmare, forever more, Chained within your slumber deep. Your mind spins with failing memories, Borbarded with impulsive notions, Confined with all of your worst regrets, And all of your painful emotions. In your mind, You see her clearly, That candescent angel, That you loved so dearly. Her sapphire eyes, Her golden hair, That seductive smile, And her skin so fair. You remember speaking to her, Though never really talking, Just below the surface of your words, Your true emotions crept, stalking. You remember seeing her dance, Each careful tap of well practised feet, In perfect timing to your heart, With each and every beat. You remember the last you saw of her alive, At a party of a mutual friend, Dancing swiftly, talking loudly, In a dream you though would never end. Though deep into the night, Fatiuged by drink and dance combined, She ventured alone out into the darkness, Your offers of assistance she'd declined Though not long after, you set out to find her Worried by her lack of protection, You searched the dark and dirty streets, In the show of upmost affection. You nearly fell over the body, As you clutched your mouth, to halt the bile, You angel dead, with empty eyes, With a broken jaw in a grotesque smile , Clothes ripped and torn by vile hands Skin discoloured, from viscious blows, Neck twised in a inhuman shape, With lifeless limbs and shattered nose. What befell your angelic love, You dare not know or ask Though never escaping the constant picture, Of her final, horrific mask. You attended the funeral of course, Though are unsure of why you came, Prehaps it was to still the churning waters, Of your inner blame. You should have gone with her, Your mind's hindsight muses, "You're the reason she is dead", Your raging concience accuses Your hopes were dashed, Crushed from high above, Your dreams lie shattered, your heart broken, A casualty on a battlefield called love. So deeply has your concience rotted, That on your bed you've lain, To live in an eternal torment, Never to rise again. ------------------ Jerome, Chairperson Of The International Fluffy Hunting Society |

Jerome - I am sorry but your poem was a little too close to things I have read a twork, and I just couldn't read it properly. It was very powerful. Unfortunately I have had to read numerous statements from men who have done this to women, and I hope you understand that when I leave work I shut the door on it and leave it behind.
Bahamut - I liked the device where you use repitition and the poem returns to the beginning themes at the end. It really works. Here's one I wrote for my Bard to sing in the story I am writing. The context is that he sings it during a time when conflict in the party has aroused fear and distrust from others. The image of the ray of sunlight striking a temple is one I actually saw in the hills of Cypress. After the Storm The harsh wind is dying To soft breezes sighing The wild waves so high Are now gentle and low The sun breaks the shrouds Of the dark angry clouds And a shaft of bright silver Lights the temple below And the people are singing Bright voices are ringing Songs of beginnings A new hope is born Welcome the dawning The Lord of the Morning Has brought a new day And an end to the storm. Voices are grating Words full of hating In the heat of the moment When anger is born Now voices are gentling Words are relenting Forgiveness and friendship Come after the storm And the people are singing Bright voices are ringing Songs of beginnings A new hope is born Welcome the dawning The Lord of the Morning Has brought a new day And an end to the storm. ------------------ There is only one kiwidoc, accept no substitutes STANDARD OPERATING PROCEEDURE www.judyhope.co.uk |

I understand Kiwidoc, the poem was never ment to be a happy one, or a perticularly nice subject.
I love your work, very deep and moving. Please post more ------------------ |

First Love
First sight of beauty First feel of happiness First taste of sweetness First rendering of warmth First despair First fall First defeat And I will move on Move on toward the bright and shining Path... For a Second Love ------------------ Yukishiro Tomoe |
