Neither gone nor here (Free verse)

Even death can not change certain things..

How dare you?
Adorn yourself with rejection
Jolting a sword into my tender heart
The beauty beholding a baby
Changed your tune no less
Unavoidable fragrance of tranquility fading into nothingness

How dare you?
Become one with death
Tattering a broken heart...
A shadow lurks in. my heart...
Swaying to the rhythm of my pain

How dare you,father?
Cowardice looks splendid on you
I do not hate you:yet i can not love you

You are gone with the answers
And the questions buried deep in me
They do not rest in peace…

A poem from deep within my heart..

This is one of those gut wrenching poems which when i read i end up in a state of a total blank. But that's just for a second, because then the emotions burst and my body and face fail to hide it. No i would say my heart weeps and yet i must stay strong and write this review, for it truly is a necessity.

[Mary Helda]

Ohhh...thank you my dear...I am glad you read it

Man times, these poems pulled up from the depths, full of suffering or rage, are not as sophisticated as yours. You did a wonderful job of synthesizing deep emotions with excellent syntax

[Mary Helda]

thank you sweetie..i guess when you live through it,you can tell it perfectly well

[Great Aunt Astri]

Ah, the age old question. How to rest easy with so much turmoil inside! I challenge you to write a poem to answer that!

[Mary Helda]

ahh..ma'am i probably woudnt write two lines because i do not think i can rest easy with all this turmoil inside

[TheMalady]

A very emotional and meaningful poem. Now, I realized just how deep your thoughts and feelings are towards Literature, especially writing. Nice play of words. You're awesome. Though, I noticed again with 'can not' should be 'cannot.'

Overall, great work! :)

[Great Aunt Astri]

Ah yes, cannot. thanks for pointing that out.

[Mary Helda]

ohhhhh..thank you sweetie...i will surely correct that...you words meant so much.:-)

[TheMalady]

Very welcome! :) Happy to be of help :)

[softlyfall]

Actually can not is perfectly acceptable in poetry and in this case is apropos.. it stress the negative impact to, the fact that there is no capability at all

[TheMalady]

Really? I will keep this in mind. I'll try to look for this one. I thought it was, hahaha. My bad.

[TheMalady]

I just checked it. It's rather complex.

[Mary Helda]
