A Delicate Aster
Sunday, May 28th, 2006The below is a poem i wrote. This is very much derived from my personal experiences. As such, i had written this poem with such true emotions, it so close to my heart.
Behind the incessant mirth of a thousand,
A life is in recluse
An arduous journey has begun
The peace and joy to lose.
They scorn, they ridicule
What a malignant visage
Akin to a snowstorm
Nonchalant,
Battering a homeless child
So much unprepared.
Thus i fall
A spiralling delve
Into the abysmal depth
Of melancholy, Of denial.
With myth and reality entwined,
Such a struggle.
All are but a blur picture
I see it yet i see not
Things to retrieve,
A vanishing dream.
Ceasing to falter,
That’s elusive.
Still i remain in my path
So perverse that it always seems
For resolutions i hold so deep
My pride, my proud,
These i shall not be without.
But the misery so entrenched
The spirit sunk so low
It often an indelible engraving
Here to plague my soul.
Tired and warped, thus
Disillusionment i seek.
The long awaited answer
Where lies the heart complete.
There it’ll be, a delicate aster
Among the thousand, a breakaway laughter.
