Returning to the Fire

by Nick who Plays Pool   Oct 6, 2006


Returning to the house, set aflame by shame
Ash and rubble it stays day by day
I cant stand it, it brings back old memories
And when I remember, the memories invade my mind.

I cant take it anymore, these monstrosities
The memories hanging over my mind
I cover these memories, but the fire burns through
The flames scorch my mentality, my mind is burnt.

Life can be morally good, or can be corrupt and horrific
Life comes quickly and can end just as fast
When I look at the ash, memories of the past
Come back and blind my mind.

    Thought a tad repetitive, it shows the same advanced thought process and the use of some vocab words is something that stands out in your poem as I've seen people much older who stick to words spoken in children. I have dark poems, so I'mreading sad ones instead.

    Like I said on the last one, just as great the second time as the first. 5.0 like all your others! ^.^

    Lots of pain and sadness in here that you express so wonderfully. Keep up the great work! =)

    Its interesting how you can use flames as the turning point in a human life and use the home as the place of memory to the human mind seeing the turning point in life how simple it is to make a persons life in to a shining heaven or a painful hell.5/5
