WHERE I HIDE MYSELF

WHERE I HIDE MYSELF

A Poem by Rose of many colours
"

I had a need to hide my self from negative people and their criterism.

"

I hide myself in old rusty drums of speeches

 In thoughts that travel with the wind

 In muses of ancient ruins

From whispers of voices so dark

I hide myself in places not to be found.

 

I hide my pain among heavy raindrops of laughter

 In the chemistry of different smiles,

In old dried up, broken cisterns

Among stars that look alike

From insults of rotted fruits and withered trees

I hide myself to be lost to you.

 

I hide my sadness when the light is out in the tunnels of freedom

 In the desert storms of a blistering mind

 In the dark where the moon crowns the sky

Among thorns and thistles where snakes do climb

From the thrust of burden some words

I hide my self where you can’t find me.

Yes now go rest no more reply lol, you need rest!
Splendid presentation of emotion here, Rose. There was a time in my life that I have to hide in seclusion. I just want to be alone and reflect...and heal myself. Some people are really critical and sensitive people like us can be affected inside. But still, God brought us those people who could help us stand and move on.

I can relate to this. Thanks for the share. Nice word choice and structure. Keep going.

You're welcome.
You are such a good poet, I do not know why I have not been reading your work, I love what am reading, it is not so good to hide the pain so much also, if you get a shoulder, let out, it is always good to let out all the pain.

An awe-inspiring picture drawn of troubled human psyche. Troubled by the negativity, the rot and the darkness. The imagery is breathtaking and you use it to create superb visuals in this poem. I look forward to reading more work of a poet as fine as you.
