Ghost

Contributed by Rakerman1999 on Friday, 22nd July 2005 @ 11:51:37 AM in AEST
Topic: LoveRemembered



Without you, Darling
I am but a ghost

A weeping spirit
left 'pon mortal seas

Abandoned and adrift
in angry waters

Crashing waves cry out
my woeful pleas


In their voice of thunder,
hear me calling

Feel me brush against you
in the gale

Stand within the rains
that are my teardrops

Falling, falling,
though to no avail




L. Carling c2005

This poem is rich with emotion,( with sadness or a sense of loss perhaps being the guiding thread ?) Even though I am a science and not an arts graduate, I still feel I get much from reading other's poems, and attempting to write my own short poems. Brother is it a refreshing break from essay writing !

I think the use of metaphor here is incredible. In each stanza, is something new. I don't find that easy to do ... I tend to be so long winded that it is hard to complete so many thoughts in such short order. I really enjoyed reading this.

do you remember a long, long time ago ... I wrote a poem you really liked..you said it was titled Ghosts .. I said it was Shadows .. well I lost it .. and I never did know the title .. this reminded me .. so I thought since you liked it so much ..perhaps you saved it or something? I'd like to put it in my book .. or maybe it is just a ghost ..lol. I hate it when I lose writing .. I have sequels .. dang! nice write btw ... be seeing you~

Gosh, Larry.... this leave me aching. So many of your writes do that. I'm never sure if it's the words or the heart that you stuff into your poems - but, whichever... yeh... it gets me.

Always happy to stop by your page,

I never hesitate to read your poems every time I see them. You amaze me with your way of standing out and writing something that engraves in my mind.

I loved this "Stand within the rains
that are my teardrops" and I wish my mind was as creative as yours!

High marks L.

Kie :)

Larry, This is a absolutely beautiful poem of love. The imagery is wonderful. There is such a soft tender loving and gentle quality to your poetry. The way you use the metaphor of the sea is so powerfull and gives the poem an emotional impact. Very poetic!

I really like this write, well done sir

Will

A spare and emotional piece. You are very good at metaphorically merging and describing the theme and subject, and I'm glad I caught this one (like many others, it seems). Now who's the bugger who stuffed up your perfect score?

In their voice of thunder,
hear me calling

Feel me brush against you
in the gale

Stand within the rains
that are my teardrops

Falling, falling,
though to no avail

Once again the man with the golden pen writes.

Beautiful words that grip the heart.

Mr rose man 100%

Love Angelxxxx

Wow what a sad write. I thought this was
marvellous and the imagery just filled my
heart with a terrible ache. No one should feel
like this and I hope you don't. Yeah this was
all so strongly and powerfully written.

I was hoping to see something new before I left. That's life ..I guess you're busy like the rest of us .. My muse has foresaken me too .. nothing but silly fluff lately .. in spite of what Ghosty thinks .. If you want to read me I'm at strlight and allpoetry .. be well and happy .. although with you, happiness doesn't seem to bring out your best writing .. well .. c-ya.

Oh my word, gorgeous barely describes it, if it does. Wow, that
was gorgeous, sad, and definitely easy to relate to when remembering
the past. Awesome job!
