In a Chamber of my Soul

by Lu   Mar 6, 2007


In a chamber of my soul
I keep my secret locked up tight
shackled distant memories
broken spirit with no fight

You may think you know me
my smile an illusion before your eyes
raggedy voodoo doll emotions
needles of memory, spike my cries

Torturous pain erupts and flows
burning vengeance will not be not kind
thoughts of destroyed innocence
visuals insistent in my mind

The taste of blood so very bitter
lip quivering in the dark of night
pray to God to bring the sunshine
sleep comes easier in the light

God hears my gentle whispers
feels the pain as I weep
wraps me in the warmth of his love
understanding this secret that I keep

Someday my soul will be free of pain
at Heaven's Gate ........

    This is an extremely meticulously written poem. Every word favours the last to create what I would consider somewhat of a masterpiece.

    The imagery you use is flawless. My only criticism would be that it ends in perhaps too positive an ending. But, that is my own personal bias as I have a tendency to enjoy dark poetry. I think this would make an amazing sonnet.

    Nonetheless, a standing ovation from me for the true sentiment in every word. 5/5.

    "pray to God to bring the sunshine
    sleep comes easier in the light"

    Out of the whole poem, thats the most easiest to relate to.
    At night in the dark, it's so easy for my night terrors to eat away at me, yet in the day, sleep comes so much sweeter
    Amazing poem Lu, well done!
    5/5
