Tin Man

Contributed by gurlytye on Saturday, 24th November 2007 @ 01:45:11 PM in AEST
Topic: MiscPoems



Thud…
Sounds of a distant echo
Rumbling in the background

The creaking
Of rusted metal
Trying to move

Years of tears
Rain and weathered times
Solidifying every movement

The pain of watching
Behind a statue’s eyes
The muffled sounds

A desperate cry for help

A beauty

Right there in front of me
Gentle hands flow
Releasing tightened chains
That once bound me in place

Breaking free

Realizing it’s only a small joy
Which can never truly be experienced

A reminder of that hollow echo
That always lies in wait
If only….

...I could know true joy

If only I could feel…

If only I could love…

If I only…had a heart.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
