Tired of the Years

Contributed by Hurretje on Monday, 19th April 2004 @ 01:57:52 AM in AEST
Topic: toughstuff



Forever loneliness
Frozen in time
Melting
With leaking memories

Little soldiers marching
Stiff, unbending tin
On a winding, trampled path
Bedded deeply under me
Between the dark-grey peaks

They shout at me
Words I do not understand
Echoing between the precipices
And sinking in the depth
Whining in my ears
History repeating
For none to hear


Dark clouds gather
Crawling over
The strong massive
With deep cracks
In the beaten solid crust

They growl at me
Curses I cannot read
Vibrating in the rocks
And dying in the air
Threatening in my veins
A forgotten evil awakes
Absorbed in oblivion


Filled with fear
And strange melancholy
I chase the past
And fly for the future
That is not mine

Forever loneliness
Opens its dark heart
To shelter me
For infinity

when i'm old i wanna be one of those people who at 82 do a parachute jump! but when i get to that age will i still have that passion for life? who knows! i wrote a poem (here comes a plug!) about an old guy i once met i called it puffin' Billy. Billy wasn't his real name i never found that out, but the rest of the poem is based in fact, anyway enough of my waffling i really enjoyed this read.

Ah, but sometimes, to be shut out os to be sheltered, to be forsaken is to be accepted. Perhaps you do not know this.

My friend you have described in this poem some of my feelings. The feeling of helplessness at certain times is appalling to say the least. I certainly emote with this your poem.

Oh Hur, I'm so sorry to see you write such a poem. Although I'm old, I've never felt this way. Perhaps it's because I live with my young son Montie who is only 24....he keeps me young and give me future days.
This was an amazing poem in all of its ways
Sending you some sunshine
rays just for you.
love
consue
