Poetry

I don't write much poetry but here are a few I have done.

 

I hid inside myself and

Drove the world away.

 When I gave up,

I felt defeated and destroyed.

 The blackness enveloped me,

As I searched for the light

In my soul.

 I wish I had an air balloon.

Id crawl up inside and

Leave the world behind.

A clash of metal
rings through my ear.
Children screaming
desperate with fear.
 
So deep and so dark.
Blackness surrounds me.
Looking around,
Is this where I should be?
 
I can hear singing
and one voice alone.
The sound is familiar.
Oh how I want to go home.
 
Listening closer,
I want to see,
Who is this voice,
Beckoning me.
 
I love you.
The voice does say.
Come back.
Don't be this way.
 
Come back my dear.
I miss you so much.
I want to look into your eyes,
And feel your touch.
 
Those powerful words,
Wrap me around.
Keeps pulling me out,
Where I can be found.
 
I open my eyes.
What do I see.
A wonderful face,
Looking at me.
 
The face of the voice,
I can now see.
Beautiful she is.
My angel saved me.
 
Her love pulled me back,
From an eternal sleep.
Pulling me onward,
So no one would weep.
