Silent Lamentations

Everyday  

We grow roses 

That fade away 

We dream dreams 

That soon will stray 

Everyday

 

Everyday

We drow pictures 

That the wind 

Blow away 

We praise bodies

That soon will decay

Everyday 

 

And everynight

I sit on my knees 

Under the fragile light

Of the moonbeam 

With tears I pray 

For relief 

I pray for you 

To leave 

My mind , my dreams 

My sight 

Everynight

 

I'm sinking deep 

Deep within my fear

I hear screams

As if they are coming 

From somewhere near 

I'm falling fast

I'm sinking deep 

Deep within my sleep 

 

Maybe I'm losing 

What has been always 

My true dream 

To run free 

Throughout the unseen 

To worship the eye 

That forsees 

To cherish 

The spirit that deems

Maybe I'm losing 

What has been always 

My true dream 

 

You say I oversleep 

You say I always weep 

You say I am so weak 

You say I am a creep 

But I , I'm gonna seek 

For myself away

Under the stars gream

 

I'm so sick of you 

I'm so sick of loving  you 

I'm afraid

Of my reflection in your eyes 

I'm afraid

Of waking up 

To find myself dying 

With only you on my mind 

 

Today 

More than ever 

I need to end this disarray 

Today

I really like the opening stanzas and the repetition in the poem, in conjunction with tumultuous flow, have a really great synergy.

After reading several of your poems, it seems that a common theme to your writing is the retreat into this physical description of the mental deterioration of the speaker. While it certainly achieves a visceral effect for the reader of being put in the viewpoint of the speaker, it could be an interesting exercise to write a poem with such devices.

. this is moving ... this is poignant ... this is heartbreaking ... and i know the feeling you've expressed so clearly and so powerfully ...
