Here is a new one from meh!!! I wrote this while debating my relationship... The way I see it, our relationship is either perfect or looks hopeless... Up and down like a damn roller coaster... But I guess that's how my life's always been. It's always either Heaven or Hell. There's never been an inbetween for me. Anyway... Here it is! Sea of Lies!

There’s a black field below a snowy mountain
The silent shadows fly circles around it
A chilly breeze blows and I’m surrounded by doubt
Something here just doesn’t quite fit
I’ve heard them before as they screeched in my ear
They know things that others can’t begin to fathom
I try to translate their screeches but it hurts me too much
Their voices so painful I slowly go numb
Vanished in the wind I let go of myself
And it’s so tranquil that I can hardly see
Alone in the world with just bone, blood, and flesh
An empty hollow for no one to see
Cowering down in a sea of lies
I know there’s something I have to find
Lost is my soul and dark is my heart
But at least I’m still in my right state of mind

Falling back now repeating the old
It’s time to lie down and rest our heads
Emotions drain empty as we feel ourselves weak
Now all we can do is pass out on our beds
Why is everything always spinning?
Those we care about fade out of view
We hold on to ourselves and slowly we cry
We know there’s nothing that we can do
Bare feet upon the cold hard ground
Back to reality where I belong
Take a step forward, first one, than two
I must continue though the days are long
Cowering down in a sea of lies
I know there’s something I have to find
Lost is my soul and dark is my heart
But at least I’m still in my right state of mind

The walls have now crumbled and I can see what’s inside
A weak beating heart and a slow breaking mind
Is this truly what I have been looking for?
Was this really worth leaving everything behind?
There must be something here that I can salvage
And I’m still searching despite the harsh wind
After everything I’ve risked and everything I’ve done
Perhaps this is punishment for all I have sinned
I collapse in the rubble, nothing more I can do
I lay my arms down to rest at my sides
I feel myself drowning in that sea of lies
Defeated by the relentless tides
Once more cowering in a sea of lies
There’s still something I have to find
Gone is my soul and broken is my heart
But somehow I’m still in my right state of mind

Hope ya'll enjoyed! Tell me what you think! And take a shot at interpretating it... I always love getting everyone's viewpoints one what I write! biggrin

wow.....sigh. All I can say is that you're hurting each other more than loving each other. This sounds like a Love/Hate relationship. You know you're hurting being together. You both need to heal before you begin to love. What you both have is a damaging love. You both need to step back and take a breather. Of course this is just my interpretation of your wonderful poem....^_^

Sin, Halo_Rising mrgreen

Halo Rising

Yeah, I agree with Halo. To me, It seems more of a love/hate relationship than anything.

But altogether, it was great, the only thing I'd suggest was separating it into smaller stanzas. . . To make it easier on the eyes (For me, anyway.. haha)

Thanks, both of ya!!! 3nodding Heh, the funny thing is, it's not a hate/love relationshipe at all. cool The only problem in our relationship is his family... long long story. Gah. But he can't get away from them... so it feels like our relationship is going no where. That's what the poem is about, me trying to figure out what makes his family so dysfunctional... The very last part is just a view of what the future could be if he never gets away from them. Heh, I could put up a whole translation of the poem... But really, the joy in poetry is to interpret it yourselves... Because as with all poetry, there are many different stories and meanings behind it. ^^;
