Fade Away
Folder:
The Wanderer Fade away
Into yesterday
Will anyone know I'm gone
Trapped in future's past
I'm struggling to escape
Tireless sorrows enrapture me
To be brave
Woe to yesterday
Watch me slowly fade to grey
If morrow
Who would dare to stay
To witness skies fall and part
Blink away
Land of tomorrow
Is nothing worth fighting for
Shattered cuts
Not to be repaired
Now answer me. Am I dead
To you, you to me
Is there any virtue here
Or has time defeated me wholly
Do I dare
Pick-up and leave now
Darkness withering me black
Light faded to ash
Will horizons lift once more
Or ignite embers of time's torment
Fade away
From my yesterday
Won't happen to my today.
And yet another entropy poem
Yes, a definite thread is forming among your poems, and that is commendable. That, plus the technical feat of syllabic control and pattern that you have brought off in this poem designates you as a deliberate artist, not some random stenographer of pretty, but petty, insights. Wallace Stevens (an American poet whom I highly recommend, if you have not already met him) said that poems may well occur on their own, but they are better off if they are caused. You demonstrate the correctmess of his assertion to that end.

Haha its a theme I very much
Haha its a theme I very much like ^_^. I've only read a couple of Stevens' s works. The first time I read something of his, which I believe was "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird", I was absolutely confused. Haha x). I think I've read more analysis of his work than his actual work. There seems to be quite a few themes in his poems with extensive metaphors and intricate symbols. It's quite captivating; it just takes me numerous reads to finally understand. ^_^
Good observation
Yes, Stevens does make you work. When I was in college, back in the dinosaur days, a poet came to read (and she just happened to be beautiful as well). As she arrived early, and they didn't know what to do with her, I was asked to give her a tour of the campus. We spoke of many things, but she told me that I must read Stevens, and that he would make me work hard to figure him out. Well, at that time of my life, when a beautiful woman in a mini skirt and jet black tights gave an order, I jumped to it. I have read Stevens almost daily since then and up until about a month ago. As you observed, I was reading more analyses of his work than the work itself. So I sold my entire Stevens collection at a used book sale, and I actually feel freer now that I have done so.
