Futile

feels like an anniversary....this is my poem nr.200 :)

I wish I would know

When will the famine of my soul end…?

Fragments yearning for motion that is still slow

Perhaps then I will no longer pretend….

 

That I know all the answers

That I have ever perused…

Arrogance and indifference my oldest dancers

That have left my heart coldly bemused…

 

Stop whispering in your mind

All you’ll never say…

The edge of my blade again couldn’t find

No evil to win…no enemies to slay…

I like this a lot, I think it was well "timed" with syllable placement, and the introspective understanding that we all have our own demons; in which we must live life with, whether or not you overcome them.
Beautifully written with again, such elegence.

Self enlightenment and reflecting
This poem is very much internal

Asks questions and gives so much answers of the soul

Love it

Ana: Your poems are always amazing. The soul needs to be fed and nurtured, the sadness of your writing pleading for changes, asking why. It's beautiful writing. Futile is a befitting title and the words flow and give insight to all readers, arrogance and indifference, the uncaring, the childish part of a person that makes unwise selfish choices only hurts us more. Great imagery and I'll have to think about the last stanza, it's very good...our mind being swayed, good or evil, which to we choose. Thanks. Dale
