Everything Burns

Just something that my mind made up.

Life is a masquerade

Eventually truth will be revealed

Hidden in the lies, everything burns

Ashes and broken dreams remain.

 

Diaries of empty pages

Echoes and words of past filled memories

Consumed in the fires of my heart

As it all starts to fade away.

 

Scattered in the winds of the lonely

All emotions gone astray

Screaming within my silence

Holding all rage and bitterness inside.

 

Wrapped in envy and empty promises

Slowly fading in the empty haze

The thousand tears of suffering torment

When everything burns to the ground.

Your word express pain and doubt though they are well written. Nicely done.

[Priscilla Sayers]

Very harsh and powerful. The intensity of your words resound in my ears as I had to read it outloud. Which brought these words even more life than you had already given them. I love it.

This is what I get:
I see a pivot here, with contrasting, no more, opposing sides. There is life and what it serves us and than there is the heart, which seems to want/need more. The heart seems out of sorts, out of place and it suffers for being so. Sometimes to the point of driving us raging mad or insane. Weakened and tire it cannot contend with hopelessness. So the poet struggles to purge and forget and insulate the heart or maybe is musing that it is becoming numb. The hearts existence, if not the source of pain at least bares the knowledge of what is pure and desired. But with this knowledge not only illuminates the awareness of but empowers and perpetuates the pain.

[Coyote Poetry]

I like the poem. Fire and burning are the symbol for many things. For destruction and also for rebirth. I like the strong statements and emotion in this poem. The strong ending made the poem complete. Thank you for the outstanding poem.

So very well written piece of poetry. I felt the lonelyness, and the suffering, pure words out of a poetic soul. Very nice work!
