My Life

by H E Losey   Jul 7, 2008


Before me lies a book in silver and gold
The title leaps into my mind, whirling as a cyclone
Opening the cover, I read, the stories unfold
Leaf upon leaf the words journey through a lifetime
From birth through adolescence his future he controlled
Out of the teens and into adulthood, seeking maturity, he hurtled
Newly found emotions Love, Lust, and others untold
A thousand new feelings rampaging within his mind and body
Pushing, pulling, leading in every direction his heart and soul
Love won, then lost, a new heart conquered or his own lost
Finally one path he follows, leaving behind those of old
Right or wrong? Was this the path best chosen?
Only time, the experience provider will reveal what is cast by this mold
With wife and children one is blessed or perhaps albatrossed
Necessities must be provided, to maintain a life one must be bold
Time proves the path to lead into a void of reality
Lacking much needed friendship each day goes deeper into the cold
Through foolishness and passions lust, blind decisions made
So now it seems I must regress to buy back what it seems I sold.

    Just looking at the format if this poem is kind if overwhelming. I think if you broke it up into stanzas it'd be more appealing to the eye.

    Also, you went from saying I, me, my to he, his, him. That really kind of threw me off. I think you should stick to the same point of veiw throughout the whole poem.

    I reads more like a story than a poem, try to spice it up a bit with some metaphors, they always seem to catch people's attention.

    Overall, I think it's a good peice, but could be improved. You told your life story clearly, and I think a lot of people could relate to this. All the struggles in life, and the choices, you captured well.

    Well done.

    Keep writing!

    I loved how you wrote this, and the beginning was so eye-catching. I enjoyed reading this, very interesting at the end how you want to buy back what you sold. Great write!
