you can see the emotions pouring out of this piece... its a great piece -
i agree with angelheaded hipster -- about the breaking the cycle... it works - trust me- i know - its good to write your feelings now - but the only way to start to feel better and heal is to start writing about other subject matter...
jose, the fall could easily be interpreted as falliing
out of self, creating a new perspective in order to
move on, there is a sense of wanting to start with
fresh beginnings in order to escape turmoil of the
heart, created by life and its weathering factors,
though by using the word "suicide" gave the ambiece
a feel that darkens the outlook, written in poetical
fashion, thanks for sharing your talent, take care, mike
This is a very sad poem and losing love is one of the worst feeling that we experience. Orlando, is right "NO ONE is worth taking the plunge." I know it is a very painful feeling and I sympthazie with you. The future holds a lot of promise for good things and really good feelings once we get out of the depths of love loss. Life is very parculiar that way. Something can feel so devastating and then all of sudden something happens and all is right again. Hang in there, my friend! A great write!!
Desires are lost
Decisions are not
Freedom is granted
And lost in a flash
This has a different rhyme scheme to the rest of the poem which through me off a bit, maybe it's the placement.. more towards the end rather than middle. Though I think I see your intent to create a 'break' for the reader. That said The title and it's contents fit perfectly. first talking about loss and all the pain it comes with, then as you 'fall' (time goes on) you get lost in yourself or loss yourself completely and decide to end the suffering. It is a well played out 'free fall' experience. thanks for sharing!
If there be grief, then let it be but rain,
And this but silver grief for grieving's sake,
If these green woods be dreaming here to wake
Within my heart, if I should rouse again.
But I shall sleep, .. more..
