I'm a Depressed Bard!

Far across rise the gleams of golden rays,

Creeping out of yester nights darkness,

I see no light with my soul, yet I see them,

Obliged to live, live with what?

Beauteous roses hath lost their redolent smell,

No more beads of tears, no more words,

Not from me, for I’m a depressed bard,

Peace and joy go hard or at least for now retard,

For I’m a depressed bard..

 

 

Scrutinizing the palpable coal black sky,

I see no stars; studs of diamonds have faded,

Like an alabaster dove raises to the sky,

Just one, and all that I can see,

Diminished into sky, soul, as I believed it to be,

Trails of tears and souvenir of thoughts,

Death strolled in to take you away,

Looking at my hand where you no more hold,

I stand here and groan, freezing in ice cold.

This wonderfully written poem makes beeautiful, fantasy images swirl through my head. I see the bard, I see the gloom, I see the sadness. Marvelous.

I loved this poem..and your closing was brilliant:

Trails of tears and souvenir of thoughts,
Death strolled in to take you away,
Looking at my hand where you no more hold,
I stand here and groan, freezing in ice cold.

i love this

[Lily Mae]

This to me has so much in it.. The depth and soulful journey you share with the reader allows us to tap into the depths of our own moments.. when we too have lost someone we love.. This is a classic in my eyes and very well written...xo

sorrowful piece here, I am so sorry for the loss.
I have lost some really good friends myself,
So i know the feelings so well. I lost my best friend
last year and I still mourn from it sometimes.
