Two Empty Souls

by Lauren   Mar 17, 2009


A misty apparition,
Moving silently around.
Bending light...
Bending Gravity...
Never making a sound.

A smokey collection of nothing,
Floating in mid-air.
Watching me...
Watching this place...
Causing uneasy dispair.

It's subtle appearance,
Chills the atmosphere.
Softly floating...
Softly whispering...
Goosebumps appear.

Slurred words,
Wake me from sleep.
Creeping in the halls...
Creeping through walls...
Silent without a peep.

Trying to find peace,
Just wanting this to end.
Invading in my dreams...
Invading within me...
Not a friend.

A weight on my shoulders,
Can't break free.
Feel it's presence...
Feel it watching...
Two empty souls without harmony.

    Wow. I really loved this poem. I love how you didn't come right out and say what it was about. It's good to let the reader wonder sometimes, let them use their imagination. :]

    I reeaally loved the rhyme scheme though, and the imagry. Everything just fit together and flowed so well. I kind of felt like I was in an old dark castle or like a swamp at midnight. Just some place that's scary.. where ghost tend to linger. Haha. I thought you did an excellent job!

    ----- That was one of the best beginnings I think I've ever read. I think it's harder to get a good beginning than ending.. but that's just me. Anyways yours was great. :]

    Keep writing!

    Amazing work. The silent and ghostly atmosphere, perfect flow and structure left me breathless. The content of this poem is amazingly organized; it rises with each stanza like a thread of smoke that's floating up, up, up. I also like how you repeat each idea in the third and fourth line of every stanza; it gives the poem a whole new outlook on things...

    One thing I'd like to suggest is don't use the "..." so much. I understand that it's about the only punctuation that means what it means, but try to be creative with the keyboard. Parenthesis and [] might help to connect 'scattered' thoughts like those.

    Gorgeous master piece. I've nominated it for the weekly contest.
