Crying Flower (Emotional Poem)
68
Another poem from my teenage years this one was something at the time that held a lot of meaning for me. I spent a lot of time during those years dealing with teenage angst, feeling things to the limit and my emotions were very tied in knots at the time. In those days I wouldn't have even dreamed of being so open and sharing this poem with anyone but these days I am fine with it. So much has happened and life has moved far beyond what it was in this freeze frame of time. This one runs more like a song than a true poem but you be the judge and let me know what you think of it.
Flutter petals in the sky
Crying flowers, tear to eye
When I see away you wilt
Shimmering now white is spilt
Greying slowly float away
Why'd you tell me, here today
Wounded angel your not mine
Save yourself leave me behind
Remember....
Space the cold and lifeless void
Here on earth we can't avoid
Imperfect solutions, imperfect me
Need some time just let me be
Thinking, blooming in your youth
Bury the lies and tell the truth
Never forget who carried you
Never lose the sight of you
Swallowing the time you burn
Frozen lights dark ghosts turn
Heaven's sun upon your face
Tell me why you've left this place
Remember.......
Space the cold and lifeless void
Here on earth we can't avoid
Imperfect solutions, imperfect me
Need some time just let me be
The flesh, the flame away you wash
Pure of softness, knowing the rush
When you see the age gets old
Just remember who you've sold
Just remember...
Space the cold and lifeless void
Here on earth we can't avoid
Imperfect solutions, imperfect me
Need some time just let me be

Loved it. You are right, it is a lot like a song, but that is good thing and I can just remember that feeling. Difficult years, now left behind, but it's nice remembering.

Your teenage poems make me wish I had saved mine. But they are all gone. Anyway, nice work again.
Senoritaa - for me the art we create of the period is a freeze frame of what we were and how things were at the time. It helps us grow to look back and then move forward :)
I think you did a great job on this.. You did this in your youth? I can feel the searching you had..great job
