Tree Of Sorrow

by Aken Sol   Sep 23, 2004


Seeds of sorrow,
Planted in my heart.
Abhorring tomorrow,
For then we would have to part.

Sunlight’s needed,
It’s my love for you.
Shining bright, unheeded.
Thoughts of you, my love’s renewed.

Foundation’s dirt,
Acquainted for years.
To flirt and leave must hurt.
To love and leave’s what one fears.

Water is heard.
Flows in like a flood.
Rises up to the birds.
How much my heart’s filled with love.

And the seeds, they grow.
In the perfect condition.
In fact, they prosper,
From my own decision
To leave my heart with her…

Ideal balance of sacrifice and love,
For maximum amount of pain.
But I love it!
Yet, I hate it.
As I wait for tomorrow to come,
My feelings become numb.

    Excellent poem...don't really know what else to say because that totally wraps it up!

    I like it, but I feel like the ending wasn't really an ending...iono for some reason "numb" just doesn't end it for me. I liked the rhyme scheme, but sometimes the fourth line was so much longer then the others that it sorta threw me off. but then again, all of the fourth lines are a bit long, so that is sorta a part of the poem in and of itself. Good work. <btw I liked the symbolism, but it was a bit blatant, I'm sure you could tone it down and people would still get it>
