[sadolakced acid]

hello poets!

the cB newspaper (letter, whatever) is looking to feature a poem (or two) every issue.

so: if you want us to consider your poem for featuring please:

1. Post your poem(s) in this thread
2. Post a link to the thread with your poem(s) (if you didn't make a thread already for your poem, then just say no thread)

please, no comments - if you wish to comment, click on the link to that poem.

please note that we are cannot feature every poem, and we may not be featuring the best poem; we also consider the emotion that the poem evokes, and if it fits with our publication. Poems submitted will always remain in consideration.

A tempest inside,
Stirring up angry, clashing thoughts

Drowning in a storm of emotions,
Downpour of feelings on his soul.
Listless he stumbles, like a drunk in the cold
Questioning, searching for something to hold.

Pummeled by brutal waves,
And condemning, heartless tides,
The piercing lightning of hate lines the way.
Recluse and outcast, solitary, fading away

Trying to feel alive,
Thinking that life has passed him by,
But they don’t care, they closed their minds.
They don’t move, they’re so paralyzed
They can’t see, they’ve made themselves blind…

Screaming silent fears,
An aching inside,
His world is crumbling,
A life unfit for living.

Deeper within, the eye of the storm,
A inadequate haven of calmness
A vacant stare complementing empty eyes and a hollow smile.
Slowly sinking into the quicksands of time.

Passing through, entering into the storm again.

Suddenly, a hand reaches out.
Abruptly the clouds shift
A heavenly smile cuts through the hazy gale,
Chases silence and shadows from the cold air.

Words dance on his heart,
And brilliant eyes and a sparkling laugh,
Like a spark, ignites the spirit
A fire of hope, a new person emerges

Looking forward to sunny days,
The sun warmly glowing down.

Flying higher in better days,
Touching the sky,
Knowing that everything will be just fine,
Feeling alive for the first time.
