This Rain Will End - a shortlisted poem

in poetry •  6 years ago 

The future a mist / that surrounds you / in its blinding depths.

The vivid colours of life, / things fascinating only / yesterday that you keep / forgetting, now faded / like an old photograph.

Thoughts a scratched vinyl / repeating the same / tired self-pitying track, / turning to mental cruelty / toward your self, imagine / nails on a chalkboard.

The decisions of the past / a night sky with a few / dim stars offering little light.

Low on energy, exhausted / by this heavy cloud, / yet much of the night / you dream of sleep.

With the mind you fight, / boxing with your shadow / to keep the hope alive / that this rain will soon end, / your memory awakened / to previous times it has.

The above poem was shortlisted for the 2011 Aquillrelle Poetry Contest

Poetry is one of my absolute favorite forms of writing. Often times though, the more modern, the better. I tend to understand the messages from more modern poets a lot better than I can the classical and famous ones. Never did understand that, for even though my degree in college is an English, assigned poetry was never my strong suit. Thank you for helping me fix that.
