flawed obsidian

Contributed by Black13 on Tuesday, 6th July 2004 @ 09:07:23 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



In dreaming moonlight I can see you again
Engulfed in shadows from the pain
And all I could do was stare at you in vain
My soul cried for you cracking from the strain
(i would have loved to save you dear)

I could have held you so much tighter
I should have let you known you were a fighter
Seeing heaven's eyes open my own
Though it's clear how the obsidian shown
(but my wings have been clipped and i cry)

Nothing left to hold onto and no one left to find
With everything still to learn and how to be kind
I want to hold you high and let you fly
But I see you broken too and can only sigh
(when the essence of innocence fails lovers sometimes)

I don't know if I could love you right
Don't even know if I'm in your sight
But my tears fall to wish that it was
Knowing that it all came to pass
(and my knees bleed from begging)

Omg Jeff this is so beautiful... words fail me. *reads it again* God, you're amazing with words. It's like Echoes of You... how I wrote that so that only I could understand it. But I think I get it pretty well. You might have to go through it with me sometime just to make sure. :) The last stanza... you wrote it perfectly. I know exactly what you mean. *sighs* Love it. Absolutely love it.

I have to agree with all the other comments. This is a beautiful poem and touched me in a sad way.

I think it is one of your best.

Very well done.

Jeff this was amazing dude I loved this. So emotional tinged with the feeling of defeat and loss. The last line really hit me with the images of your knees bleeding from begging. Amazing dude.

This poem fairly weeps. It's as if the sadness is flowing from beginning to end. Like it's being wrung from a wet towel. Two people in glass cases---able to see each other and yet not reach to touch. I love some of the images. Engulfed in shadows from the pain---is one of my favorites. It's a part of the catharsis. Having done a great deal of weeping the last few days, I can say that.

This is a great write. The quality of it is excellent and seems to be in earnest... one can feel that sense of desparation in it. I found the images to be lovely. Great job.

This is nigh perfection. The title itself is a great image, and being alluded to a couple of times in the piece lends it more strength. All the imagery is stunning here, and the emotion is handled wonderfully.
Bravo and encore!
And may the road rise up to meet you.

Well I usually don't understand half the poems out there anyway so that's cool. But I think this would be so beautiful written to some music.

I want to hold you high and let you fly
But I see you broken too and can only sigh
(when the essence of innocence fails lovers sometimes)


I love this bit, brings to mind (*my* mind, mind you) how a relationship can ruin two people.
