Chair of Sorrow

by Simon Hayes   May 15, 2006


This place I sit,
Among those who dwell
On the promise
Of a better tomorrow.
Holds no comfort,
No relief.

This place I sit,
Grasping my sanity.
Has become
My solitude,
My weakness,
My painful reside.

This place I sit,
Shall not consume me.
I shall sit here,
My thoughts entertained,
Biding my time,
And dreaming of you.

    Hey SiE, I really love this write..... gives a person something to think about. The only thing I see with it are the last 3 three lines....

    Entertaining my thoughts,
    Biding my time,
    And dreaming of you.

    Maybe say something like

    Biding my time,
    Entertaining thoughts,
    Dreaming of you.

    or

    Entertaining thoughts,
    Biding my time
    Dreaming of you

    Other than that, it's a perfect read. I truly enjoyed it.

    "Biding my time,
    And dreaming of you."

    ^^ the way that you ended it completely gives the poem a make over...it captivates me...the way you have conveyed your emotions is brilliant...i really cannot find anything to critique in this siE, it is really flawless. But I think that the third last line..."entertaining my thoughts", is a little long, and takes away the honor that the last two lines should recieve...only if you could use a few less syllables in that, i think it would be a little better...but i dont know...obviously, you write better than me lol. Take care sie, Dhaval
