(Hasty) Words upon the Page

Hastily written words upon the page

Tear stains mark the lines

Dried and crumpled with age

Left over from unknown signs

 

Ink upon the pen

Writing words that shout pain

Words that scream once again

And let the tears fall like Torrential rain

 

A candle stands against the dark

A beacon of hope against the tragedy

Flames surround the wick in an ark

And yet they silence all screams of agaony

 

Once again I turn to the page

My tears stain the hazy lines

Dried and crumpled with age

Left me without any signs

i agree look at the candle because each time you look at the words, they will scream just as loud...memories often do that.

they lie dormant till we visit them again, and then they tear us up as much as they day they were born.

i like the bookend effect of the first and last stanzas...gives the reader that "closed in by the memories" feeling.

Thanks again, I have been trying out new ways of writing and the repetition is something I have noted in other poets works so I tried it out. And I think it works pretty good!

So don't look at the pages ...keep looking at the candle...and hopes shall remain alight! I loved the impeccable rhyming yet so in flow with the feeling! Keep sharing!
