    These Embers

    this light.
    this burning desire is only embers
    how can such flame grow low,grow weak instead of strong,?
    is it i?
    is it my mistake to be here?
    I'm left in the corner of my own dispare,
    digging myself a hole as everyone watches me go father father down, yet no one can pull me out.
    no one can make this go away,
    life's left this hole in my heart
    in which nothing can fill,nor money, love or compassion,
    just a patch of darkness,
    where the embers lay,
    my strength is gone, my will has become weak ,
    maybe it's time.
    maybe life's choices are running out, pointing to one direction,
    life doesnt have to be long  to be good,
    hell, life's hard as I've seen it with my own eyes,
    the crulties of humanity.
    we are all a product of mistakes, misfortunate events we go through
    and the misfurtnate technicalities of this world

    Mmmm... The concept of this write is beautiful. You ignite a flame within your writing that burns brighter than a thousand exploding stars. A wonderful write. Thank you for sharing. :)

    Charlex! Well it's about Damn Time!!! lol! :) Nice job! A lot of insight in this one. Poetically sound and the imagery is great. Only one flaw ... You need to keep writing man, the more ya write the more ya heal. You'r etoo young to be so cynical about life, Life is hard - damn right! None of us can change that - but we must make the best hand with the cards that have been dealt to us. Hell, Bluff if you must - but it's all worth it in the end! :) Great job - keep them coming my friend! :) Ken

    haha sorry, i've been busy, but i got a temporary home. so i should be able to post more. -n- imay be young but i've seen alot in my time. age isnt determined by our chronicle exsitance, but by the evens and experiances we pass through. least is one way i see it. but i'll try to write abit more cheery

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
