Blaze of Today: A Poem
59
Another of my old poems from my teenage years. This one was a little more experimental, sort of a stream of consciousness piece. I was sorting through a lot of things in those days and part of my unwinding process was relaxing me mind and letting myself wander through words and meanings. At the time it had quite a soothing effect. Let me know what you think.
BLAZE OF TODAY
Tommorrow the blaze of today
Screaming child the world has paid
Trapped beneath the water surface
You dragged me here, here on purpose
Your here
Your there
Your everywhere
To me
To be
With all your cares
Freedom speed does not exist
Feel the pain of what you've missed
Wish for sleep and sleep to dream
The secret life of microbes teem
Your here
Your there
Your everywhere
To me
To be
With all your cares
Turn around and meet your fate
Approach it now destinies gate
Dissedent across the way
What am I supposed to say?
Your here
Your there
Your everywhere
To me
To be
With all your cares

Great stuff, reading old things we wrote. This seems to have a doubtful feeling as to where you are going but we all have that in our teens.Like you I never threw out any of my writing and now I'm glad I didn't I can see how much better I have become.

Not sure what you were going through on that particular day but it seems to question your existence in life. This is very normal for teens and leads to finding your purpose. You were a writer even then!
A brilliant poem ;you are very talented and I can see I will enjoy following you on here.
Take care and enjoy your day.
