Description: After a writing drought, I just opened MS Word and typed it out. Its truly what's on my mind. This poem was untitled for a short while until I re-read the completed version and then I noticed the title was there all along.
Time And Again -------------------------------------------
Time and Again
The tenacity of the downtrodden spirit
The landscape’s shade of grey-blue skies
If its not what I deserved, its at least what I expected
Another thread of hope gives way and dies
Countless acclivity back to my feet
Striving for a taste of unreachable rapture
Yet that of which I yearn longingly so
Seems time and again to escape capture
Oh please Dear God
Please grant me but a moment of warmth
From the female whose love I crave
A mere twinkling of affection for me in those eyes
Why every girl I meet
Must destroy this fragile heart
And each time its reconstructed
The pain increases as its ripped apart
For time and again this I’ve endured
For a sliver of hope I’ve held on
Will there soon come a day when I regain whom I want
Or will whom that I want be gone?
Aww bless!
This is so cute, I didn't know guys had feelings.
Anywho, on a more serious note.
It's lovely :o)
I loved the way you displayed your own hearts weakness with such humility, I loved the rhetorical questions. It had a wonderful flow, and the rhyme scheme wasn't obvious or childish. I liked the reference to your heart being ripped apart, nice and graphic, I would have put some blood and guts in there to emphasize the pain and anguish.
