Weeping Wishes (Mirrored Etheree)

by debbylyn   Dec 20, 2006


One
Alone
Desolate
Weeping wishes
Falling drop by drop
Drenching candlelit dreams
Extinguished hope, the flame dies
Angst of the lover's soul decries
Dark future's bleak loneliness resides
Within One, weeping lost candlelit dreams

Within One, weeping lost candlelit dreams
Dark future's bleak loneliness resides
Angst of the lover's soul decries
Extinguished hope, the flame dies
Drenching candlelit dreams
Falling drop by drop
Weeping wishes
Desolate
Alone
One

    You know, I tried this once...it didn't work out quite so well. Heh. This was an amazing write. I love the whole idea of it. I doubt I could pull something off like this. Lol. And my brother said it was "sick". Which is really good. Haha. Never stop writing!! Take care!! Love,

    This is really good. I love the way you ended with the word "One". It really emphasizes the desolation in this poem. Great work.

    5/5
