Poem – The Winter of My Soul
-
The Winter of my soul is here.
My heart is frosted o’er with fear
Of regrets regarding yesteryear.
If the pains were only less.
-
-
I close my eyes to wish away
Some thoughts that scream to stay and stay
And possess my life, and confuse my days.
If only there was gentleness.
-
-
Pain jumps up to lunge at me.
An ignorant fool too blind to see
Some passions bound will others free
My spirit in its wilderness.
-
-
Hope obscured and betrayed by grief
Once was trust, gave no relief.
My ship at sea has rammed the reef
Of despair in all its singleness.
-
-
The lights turn dark and reason lies
As ideals fail and slowly die.
Tears rise up and I cry out why.
The lonely injured weep alone.

wow did you wrote this yourself, that’s a good poem.
i also wrote a poem similar to this one, here it is for you and your readers.
Winter is on the Inside
Thick is the wall of ice
that grows around her heart.
Thicker and thicker it becomes,
Harder to break apart.
She is not loved;
Not loved by anyone.
She is sad, alone.
She has been outcast by those she
once loved.
Warm are but the tears
that flow from her eyes,
gently washing down her face.
They fall in her heart.
As they meet unhappiness,
they too are frozen.
And thicker grows the solitude.
The tears, they fall,
Fall for someone;
Someone who melted the ice
and built it up again.
She cannot love.
There is no one
Who wants to share it;
Yet there is plenty to give.
The bandages cover the wounds
But they are deep.
They will not heal
But they will scar.
On the outside there is a warmth
Of a gentle glow, the mask
Of a smile, which hides
A pain, so deep
A hurt that would tear apart
The soul.
The grief she has is infinite.
No one understands.
For her, there is only one
Who can melt that heart
So cold.

Thanks Julie
Maybe we should start a poet’s corner….. were you writing about me, or just grief in general?
Wow. What an awesome poem!!
Thank you Sarrah, for your kind words. God bless you.
