Feelings.

Flying through the air, catching my breathe. My eyes swell with tears from the wind as it crashes against me. My throat closes so no words are of use. My heart sinks plunging into the sea, and my hands shake with fear. My pale skin returns with no good news. Everything seems a blur, no, nothing in focus. The tears my eyes bring drip down across my lips. I sit and forget what joy is, being thrown into this dark place. The wind howls in my ears and the soft whispers of the tormented are all I hear.

Relieve me of this thought, of this pain, of this oppressing way. Let me go, and let there be no more torture. Save me of this misery and let me hear sweet tunes. Let my limbs no longer feel numb so that I may dance in joy and love. But sadness wraps my heart, and no hope is to be found. Not yet.

You are here now. My stomach flutters with the joy that consumes my body. A smile is no longer brief, but seemingly everlasting. A soft pink covers me now, and a sweat comes from being overwhelmed. I jump and dance, yes, a happiness now is within me. For You have come and saved my soul. The darkness no longer wins and no longer do I scream in pain and misery. Your light overcomes everything and the love You pour into my soul is unexplainable.

Walking across the valley I feel You beside me, yes, You are here now.
Don't leave. Please don't.
You are what I need.
You are all I need.

I don't write poetry that often right now. However, I highly enjoy it and should write more just to exercise it. Do you write quite often?

Mark said...

yes, I do. I really love writing it. maybe sometime you could read my poetry? I think that I need advice/critiquing on my work. how long did it take you to write "feelings"?

Writing this post took about 20-25 minutes. I tend to actually write something good when I only have a certain amount of time to write it. This morning I didn't have a ton of blow-off time because of school and such, so I wrote it pretty quickly.

Send anything by me! I would love to read your poems! You can send them through email if you would like -- my email is on my facebook.
