Suspect.

The sad reality of most of us.

Guided hands envelop the strings of the heart,

Mirrored thoughts leave times behind us all,

Glaring eyes are softened with hopes carress,

Flutters stem the right for us to kiss not fall.

 

Piercing pains neither hurt nor scar within me,

Sliding feelings print minds away from hell,

Religious ceremony bound to smiles forever,

The seal for both are the dings of the bell.

 

Parents ripped apart by wanting lust,

Fear rising in single hearts slapped and shoved,

Catch another in heat and passion lay,

Once nerves and hands no longer loved.

 

Laying still in wooden boxes no better,

Finally of the same stature and respect,

Dead the only cleanser that never fails,

Each other mere people of tragic suspect.

Author's Note

Try to be as honest as possible.

Most people don't realize this, but I find great peace an beauty through the mysterious and unexplainable emotion of sadness. This poem is incredibly and irrevocably filled with the truth of people's lives that most of society attempts to cover up. In a nutshell, this poem is really beautiful!

i find the first two lines in the second stanza very powerful. it shows how someone can have the strength to let go of pain and evade scars of some emotional traumas. this is a difficult thing to do; to walk it off. but it;s good to have a reminder now and then. poignant and insightful poem.
