No point

by broken reflection   Mar 31, 2007


Water cascades like last seasons winter,
Wounds sting like lodged splinters,
Salty tastes leach onto her tongue,
Images be daunting for someone so young

Thorns are binding her sight,
Memories of her past haunt her nights,
Time is grinding her weary self down,
Nothing can twist that infantile hearts frown

Fires of a thousand lies,
Reality becomes her demise,
Sweet dreams don't exist,
A new life is her soul's fondest wish

Ashes of blazing excuses,
For many years of abuses,
Dirty reasons choke her lungs,
Her song will never again be sung,

Love reaches its peak of extinction,
Fairy tales are just simple fiction
All is gone for this equal being,
If this is it, what's the point of living?

    Well, it grabs your attention right from the very first line. Such a beautiful way to start this poem, sets the scene of things to come right from the start.

    Wonderful imagery used, really brings the poem to life. Now mix that with a really solid flow, and good use of vocab .. and you have a poem that's readable over and over again.

    I really enjoyed this piece, Especially the final stanza. Closes it all up nicely.

    Great work.
