Here I write things that happens in my life along with thoughts and contemplations and opinions
Newest poem
Yes, my poems do not have headlines, nor do they need to. The people I write about know who they are, and the poem is still there even without a headline. I am happy that my love has made me able to express myself in this way, it has been a very big relief for me, because I think poems are a beautiful to express yourself and to give others hope and joy. So here it is:

Night
Enveloped in horror
Aguish and despair
Pain and suffering
Doomed to walk alone
The prison of the mind ever deep
Death - an escape from this madness?

Men of cruelty
Men of low moral
Men of evil

Will it ever end?

A glimpse of light
Is something there?
Her eyes hurt, trying to catch it
The warmth....nice

Could it possibly be?

The ray it's...weak
She wants to feel it, to hold it, bathe in it
Bask in its glow, never looking away from it

The journey begins
A long way to go
The boat is set

The sea seems endless
The boat, leaking
Courage and morale low
But determined they strive on
Their hearts leading them

The souls aboard not looking backwards, but forwards
Every little mile, a victory
Every little victory, a smile, a feeling of something right
Every little smile, a mile closer

Dawn
After much endurement and struggle
The light, before dim, now shining brightly
The souls aboard now looking at each other

The warmth entering their hearts
Filling them up, taking over what was just nothingness

Her eyes look at the light with vigor
Although it hurts, she does not want to look away
Never look away

She is home!

    Is it not a wonderous and beautiful thing to watch a butterfly emerge from its cocoon? The light of a new day, a new beginning, as seen through the eyes of a child, is such a rare and precious commodity in our world. Should you chance upon such a sight, treasure it for all time, for you may never be blessed enough to see it again.

    This was very good, but once again I have critism, sorry.
    I think your ideas didn't shift smoothly.
    It went from : Men of cruelty
    Men of low moral
    Men of evil

    to:A glimpse of light
    Is something there?
    Her eyes hurt, trying to catch it
    The warmth....nice

    There didn't seem to be a true transaction. The beginning of the poem seemed like it would start an entirley different poem.
    I suggest you work on your openings just a wee bit ^^
    I did however enjoy your art imensley, I commend you for putting your emotion on paper.

    Not a different poem just a different person, this poem is about many people.
