THE POEM
UNTITLED
Memory came today
And called for me by name
I stayed silent as he spoke.
Oh how he haunts me.
Darkness came today,
And called for me by name,
I answered with my tears,
each drop tasting bitter.
Death came today,
And called for me by name.
I raised my hand, told my name,
And said my silent prayer before I let go.
"I'm not real,
I don't exist,"
As I fell into,
The dark abyss,
And embraced it.

A WALK DOWN THE LANE
I don't know how to activate these url's like some people do.
Bonjour Exseno,
I have some trouble to understand it. If I am not totally mistaken, he talks about his own death.
A really strange idea for a subject. Is your grandson very, very ill and preparing himself for the unavoidable?
GCeorg
Hi Georg,
Yes I can imagine that it is a little strange (and shocking),to see such a young person writing such things.
He has been writing poetry since he was very young (soon to be 18yrs).
Some are what I call very dark poems and some are not.
Although I do admit, he does sort of leans toward the 'Edgar Allan Poe' side of the fence.
I like the way he has developed the thought; having turned away 'memory', sort of acknowledging 'darkness' with 'tears', and finally 'embracing' 'death' and 'letting go'.
A very somber poem for one so young; does he also write poems in a lighter vein?
Hi Id it is,
He writes all kinds of poems,
I posted some from a English Assignment that he wrote.
Posted on May 1, 2008 and May 16, 2008
I have to admit he likes dark poems and controversial poems.
Very nice!
The T-Dude,
Oh, Thank you for realizing that his poems are just poems and not about him.
I believe, as a young guy, it's a beauty that he is not only restricting himself to mushy rhymes but also exploring the other reality of life. Having said that, one should remember that some of the best written songs are the one, which delve into the darker side of life. In fact, i would quote from a famous sufi poet who once said ..
"Ï'm too involved in the negative that am yet to arrive at the positive"
Hi D,
Thank you for stopping by.
I appreciate your comment. I wish more people could see that sometimes a poem is just a poem.
The poem was not about him but in acceptance of death in general.
However I have to admit that he likes to write poems on the dark side.
This comment has been removed by the author.
This was excellent. Nice.
Hi Miss Krys,
I think so too. He's a better poet then I ever was.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your opinion.
Hi Exseno,
You have a big success with this poem and that inspires me, too.
We should switch over to poetry to say what we have to say. But not any poems, rhyming ones and a little fun worked into it.
Cheers
Georg
Hi Georg,
Good idea. Do you write peoms Georg? If you do I would love to read some.
I can't think of any funny poems that I've written but I do write poems. I used to post one every once in a while.
Hello Exseno,
Thanks for answering. And I like this poem I got with your email. Well made.
As to me, I never tried. But now I'll do it, in Englishm though I am a German living in France. It should be funny because low quality must be at least hilarious, if nothing else.
Here we go:
Writing a poem
should be no problem
But rhyming about what?
Government in a tight spot?
The Winter too hot?
Or romantics about nature?
About girls not yet mature?
I like Betmo's three-lines Haiku!
Make me shiver through and through
Damned Haiku, you.
Well, that's it. Now I have to go to bed, exhausted.
Georg
Hi Georg,
You did it. Good job, your first poem. Very nice I like the way you slipped that Haiku in there.
lovely poem!
