SEEKING LIGHT

SEEKING LIGHT

A Poem by vspjaguar
"

Is that light at the end of the tunnel?

"

Everything else is dark and I am in the spotlight.

Gloomy darkness all around me is a sore sight.

Hands desperately seeking something in the dark,

everything around seems to be a question mark.

 

Why can't there be eternal sunshine or just darkness?

At a distant sight, there seems to be a source of light.

The only torch that can light through this profound duskiness,

is the ray of hope which lights the heart to always put up a fight.

 

Uncertainty is the only thing that seems certain in my life.

Seeking happiness in my life is like walking on a knife.

The minute I forget that fact, fate draws my blood.

For each wrong step I take, more blood do I shed.

 

When I am left bleeding, fate brings in love for the cure.

I just drift away in the air as I don't need to walk anymore.

Flying with the wings of love, lost in the feeling so pure

and divine, I lose all the pain in the elation never felt before.

 

I could not foresee any harbingers of this wicked storm.

I stood on my bleeding feet with a broken wing.

Lightening struck and caused this wing to deform.

This adventurous flight, more pain to me it did bring.

 

Fate brought in love just to make me realise

that the times I had before would have been suffice.

I yearned for something more and suffered more.

Now, seeking ray of hope in the darkness same as before.

Its really good! I can connect to it and thats what is the most important thing in a poem for me. You know you should get the 'The Feels'.Lol. But thats what I really liked upon the poem. The darkness and the light gives me hope and I look forward to moving forward. A battle is what I felt when I read this and a great work to bring in some hope, fight more till the eternity.

Thanks mate!
The third verse really made me think of walking on a knife. It put a chill in my bones. Like a good director, you drew me into the illusion. Well done, but damn did I have a good chilly shake.

I love this! Could you have been more consistent with the rhyming? Maybe, but I actually like the broken rhyme. I think it adds to the piece, even if you didn't intend it to. I like the broken rhyme enters in the verse that starts talking about uncertainty. There's a bit of irony in that, I think, and all in all I see it as a happy accident. Great writing, really interesting and thought-provoking ideas. Beautiful work!
