Hell
Do you know how to
Close the door to your fears?
Do you know how to
Lock out the painful tears?
Can you take the rhythms
And let your soul run free?
Do you know where the
Path is that holds the key?
Do you understand
The mystery that lies within?
Do you know how to
Stop your heart from breaking?
If so, please tell me. I need to know.
To stop this pain I feel.
Questions I once asked
The truth hurt more than lies.
They say time heals all wounds
But it can't bring back your soul when it dies.
If I could be like a machine
You could program my mind.
And take away these human needs
That tear me up inside, time after time.
Where's the fountain of youth
To take back the painful years?
Is there a magic mixture
To take away emotions of fear?
If so, please tell me. I need to know.
To stop this pain I feel.
Sun lowering behind me, wind rustling the leaves.
The eerie darkness is at hand, but I've seen what it sees
I've tasted happiness pure as gold
I've felt the pain of tears
Laughed with the mystics and cried with the cynics
But focused on regrets of my years.
Memories of those who have made my life I echo in my mind.
All of the good times and all of the bad times and the joys I'd hoped to find.
Over skies of oceans blue
My spirit is longing to soar.
Leaving behind the scars of a lifetime
And face these fears no more.
Do you see in my mind?
Can you feel the demons there?
Then you'd know the turmoil within.
And if you know, do you care?
If so, please tell me. I need to know.
To stop this pain I feel.
you're so talented. another great poem from you :)
Yes I can see what is in your mind and also the demons there. I Do care with love for you.
Take good care,
Marianne
Well, I must say, I am very glad I didn't have to see you in such a dark place. I don't think I could have handled that. I feel I would have been just as upset seeing you like that, then actually going through what you went through. But now I know that the saddness has been replaced with nothing but happiness and *Glee*. You are a wonderful writer and almost made me cry.
I too know what it's like to lose a love, but I disagree with you.. had you not had had the love to lose then you would not have felt love. With that comes the understanding of emotion, and with out that what is the point in love? Any ways I really like this and can relate very well. Thanks. peace and love
wo you have some real talent for writing its absolutly beatiful. i know that sounds odd considering the deep sorrow involved but yet it is.
I may not know what it is like to have love and lost, and I couldn't even imagine the pain it causes. All I know is that there is someone out there who will love you no matter what happens. Keep up the good work.
Hi!This poem is excellent. It puts everyday into perspective, with words.He is a superb writer.
I think the title is perfectly appropriate, as the subject of this poem definitely seems to be going through it. A burdening, depressingly powerful piece of romantic cynicism here, Keith. I can't say that I've ever been this down and out, but I think I'll now recognize it if it ever happens.
