Ballad of Depravity

I wrote this when I was lost and waiting for who I "thought" was the love of my life.

Within a heart words forever unspoken. 

Like quite vows still yet unbroken. 

Why must one wait to learn from mistakes, 

till the chance is to late. 

Left forever in the cold arms of fate... 

sealed with a voice like a kiss of hate. 

Loves lips deep red, the color angels bled. 

Why now so far, my angels kiss, that elaquent bliss. 

perfection in verse and depravity to perverse to converse in any further length. 

Love has to much conviction and I to much pride, neither bow nor falter in stride. 

This place I reside, between the whole of sorrow, and the hole of truth. 

It's quite noisy when no one talks at all, the sound a deafening wall.

The sound of love saying goodbye is all the echo I need, 

planted in the base of my skull like an unforgiving nerve of greed, 

planted as love's co-dependent seed. 

Love is quick to flee, quick to wish to be free. 

But free is only as far as the eye can see, 

and I see Love, though love chooses not to see me. 

So I wait, I and love waits, now two forever entwined fates. 

Learn your lesson well for love only speaks thrice, twice,once... 

love waits, true love survives the miss guided fates... 

and waits...

waits...

Thoughts? This is an older piece, I waited she didn't.

Your eloquence rivals the Bard--this is a wonderful piece, I love how your soul speaks through your pen and through your words. Your faithless Gertrude lacked judgement and wisdom--it was and is truly her loss.

it seems beauty in poetry has to come from understanding oneself the emotions felt completely i think i might lack this ability,that or i focus to much in saying as opposed to expressing hmm..enough rant this is good :]

Thanks Nestor,
I haven't had a chance to check out your stuff yet, I intend to correct that as I tend to think we are our own worst enemy. I am sure i will enjoy your work very soon.

no worries,all the writing i previously had was older stuff i've only made 2 new works which i'm a curious to get feedback on,i used a method i'm not normally accustomed due to some very wise words from a friend here on writerscafe,so if you do check any of it out makes sure it's "who am i?" or (unwise) decisions
as the other ones are a bit lackluster i got too caught up writing what i thought poetry was as opposed to what i really wanted to say,
learn to say nice things to yourself give yourself positive feedback change
your mentality from negative to positive it won't be easy but it's worth the
effort once you stop kicking yourself every chance you get our thoughts have alot of power over us and our thoughts are just that OUR thoughts we ourselves have control over them it's just that it takes discipline and effort to gain what we seek.
,wish you the best christopher.

Very wise words,
I work toward getting away from self torment. I have far too long wrapped myself around one side of life's possibilities. Effort as you said will go a long way.
Best wishes to you friend.
Sincerely
