three imagery poems, about life and love Options

[timeflies51]

Here three poems of mine.


Watching the Sunset - like a metaphor of love

My Flight of Fear - also like a metaphor of both life and love (I actually came up with the last verse on a roller coaster)

Forest Storm - similies of features of the one I love



Watching the Sunset

Fading light over the horizon
The ending of another day
The shadowed moon slowly rising
Pushing the light of the sun away
Blinking lights, on and off
Winking their distance away at me
Glowing and flickering, yellow and soft
Showing how far my eye can see
Purples and reds blended together
In such simplicity one cannot believe
Yet exists the immense complexity of whether
Tears will form once more, to grieve
Green pine needles decorating the view
Interrupting the path that my eyes walk
But the blinking lights are seen, they pierce through
Optimism teasing me, again and again they mock
I can see my own long hair blowing
Fast and quick as the wind does desire
Cool, soothing, and calm, it is flowing
Yet inside me burns a slow, painful fire
While the music I listen to is relaxing
Not even it can ease my stomach’s fluttering
Each and every day the churning is taxing
The words that my mind continues sputtering
Each sense of mine is filled with a spirit
Lingering and reminiscence of one sight
And a sound that echoes, I can always hear it
Yet it is softer than a bird’s wings taking flight
Reflecting in my eyes’ pool of tears
Dripping and adding to it increasingly
Comes, parading, my frights and fears
It never stops, it’s now unceasingly
Still watching the sun slowly slip under
And the moon now joining the cluttering clouds
I can hear in the distance a roaring thunder
This makes it only worse; now faster my heart pounds
How could a sight so wonderful and great
Ever bring me so much excruciating pain?
Now I can only sit here to watch and wait
For my questions to have answers that can explain
Darkness finally taking over, completely
Me blind to the fire, I cannot see the light it does brew
But those lights are still there, winking at me
They want to remind me that it is all because of you



My Flight of Fear

Step right up, don’t be shy
Come on my roller coaster ride
Hand me your ticket, hop right in
Buckle up, it will soon begin
It’s too late now, you can’t turn back
All you can do is follow the track
Because the decisions that you have made
Cannot be altered, cannot be changed
Creaking slowly, the ride then starts
And you hear a fierce pounding in your heart
A darkness surrounds you, now you’re blind
You can’t see what’s in front nor what’s behind
It’s impossible to see what lies ahead
And now you are completely full of dread
What will strike? What will hit?
You can’t know, but you can’t quit
Crawling up a seemingly infinite hill
Wind blowing in your face, oh, what a thrill!
It’s so calming, peaceful and serene
But it is not what it seems
Leading you up, leading you on
Hey, guess what, all along
The higher you go, the harder you fall
And there’s nothing you can do about it at all
Prepare yourself, the car is turning down
Speeding into a dive so fast; what to do now?
You can’t stop, you must keep going
No matter how surprising, you not knowing
When it will end; will you fall forever
With no sign of stopping whatsoever?
Zoom! Going back up, now you’re climbing
What can this be? You must be dying
A loop-the-loop around and around
Winding around your throat, you’re choking now
No words emit, no words come out
You can’t scream and you can’t shout
You can’t show anybody else your pain
Yet slowly but surely you go insane
Swirling over and over once more
This must be hell, you are sure
Everything blowing by, going so fast
Not slowing down, how long will this last?
Twisting and diving down at the same time
You feel so helpless that you want to cry
Now you’re sick, so dizzy you feel
The wounds you’re getting, will they ever heal?
Again and again, around and around
Forwards, backwards, and upside-down
A sudden stop, the worst whiplash
Your hopes and dreams ripped and smashed
Fear stabbing you like a razor-sharp knife
Slicing you with the most terrifying fright
Why must we face life with a tattered heart?
Cut, shattered and bruised, so torn apart
Then you realize you’re upside-down, hanging there
Why did this happen to you? It’s so unfair
Not knowing what to expect, entering so blind
You just didn’t know what you’d find
Filled with regret, oh, you wish
That you’d never ever bought that ticket
You wish you could predict what you’re heading towards
If only, if only time could tick backwards
The ride starts back up, and you see a light!
You reach out, trying to grasp it with all your might
Bursting through the passageway
You’re out of the night and into the day
Collapsing as you stumble out of the car
You think, “That was so strange and so bizarre”
And tears forming in your eyes
That’s when you finally realize
Life isn’t only full of pleasurable thrills
Don’t be ignorant of the bitter pain that kills
There are not only happy and joyful emotions
Some crash and surge like waves on the oceans
Be the optimist; reflect on what you’ve gone through
Think of what you know now and before how little you knew
Perhaps this all was a very good thing
Just imagine what your new knowledge will bring
And also remember: life isn’t just a straight line
It’s full of twists, turns, and paths that intertwine
So are you scared that this is drawing near?
Oh, be afraid, try my flight of fear
Do you dare to risk, do you dare to try
My roller coaster ride?



Forest Storm

Walking through a wood one day
Glancing up at closing night
Trying to seize my last chance
To see a ray of faint sunlight
Taking shelter under trees
As a gentle rain begins
Gliding slowly down my face –
They are tears from within
I am as dry as a desert
But inside I feel so cold
No raindrops have touched me
Yet dripping wet is my soul
Reminders of you everywhere
You – drenching me so thick
I look around and see you there
But no, it’s just another trick
Branches tangled through one another
Intertwining here and there
These branches only make me think of
Your tousled wavy brown hair
Lightening striking my road ahead
Only makes me louder my cries
Because then you creep into my head
Those arresting yellow-green eyes
The thunder crashing makes my heart
Pound at a faster pace
And also when the only thing I see
Is your delicate spellbinding face
Every day I think of you
It’s my mind that you haunt
I need you out; you’re killing me
This I do not want
How to escape the battering rain
Pouring from the sky above?
I’m already wet and it’s all because
Of what I did for love
Sprinting through the falling storm
Mud seeping through my skin
I want to wash away my thoughts of you
And tomorrow be dry – once again begin



Please tell me what you think!
