Worry

worry

Like a ghost, you grip me-
Making me lost,
in my own thoughts
and afraid,
of my own memories.
It feels, as if,
I were in a dream…
wandering-
In the woods of thoughts and memories,
alone and lost-
between somewhere and nowhere.
The depressing cold wind,
The pleasant old music,
drizzling emotions.
The climate, as sad as I.
I wander… and wander….
looking for nowhere.
empty silence everywhere,
making me feel,
as aloof as the moon.
yet,
the rays of hope, shone,
from the distant moon
and the happy stars.
Tears spill as words,
in a friendly piece of paper.
makes me think..
more and more..
Am i stalemated, i wonder..
Perhaps,.. Life is not chess-
I can just play,
a simple waiting move.
I must remind myself-
“It is time to fight back”

A lot of questions brought to life by the poem. Easy to get stalemated in life. Sometime we must stop and re-set our life and goals. I like the closing lines. Better to fight than lay down and give-in. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

Very beautiful poem! Very inspirational. I can feel and imagine your emotions.

I like this. The whole piece, for me, wanders abit, but tat adds to the poem as a whole really. Must admit though the end throws me a little.

There are some lovely unusual ideas here, like the aloof moon and friendly piece of paper.

Oh I loved the ending where it refers to chess, that part really grabbed me. The pacing and timing in this part was fantastic. I will say though that it took me until that point to really get in to the poem. Look at the awesome stuff you did there and learn from it.

A very fine grasp of the language and its nuances. I listened.
