Nomad

To go by many names,
Is to have no identity...

Deserted,
Defeated and lost
These crystal dreams,
The coldest frost.

Worthless,
Weary and hounded
Urgency rising,
Mind left dumbfounded.

To go by many names,
Is to have no identity...

Angel,
Mong,
Damien and Larnie.

Larnette,
Butch
And even toilet.

Selfworth weighs itself based on heaviness of heart,
But to love two is a deadly art.

To go by many names,
Is to have no identity...

To be there beside the stars...
To shine and glisten with doom,
A shame...really...

My goal is to reach the moon...
Travel the road beside another
Happiest moments thrown asunder.

Wonder down the lonely road if I shall
Orange-pink hues of the horizan already fell...

To go by many names,
Is to have no identity...

"To go by many names,
Is to have no identity..."

Now this truth shocks me. I have lots of pseudonyms and nicknames and labels but the higher those names pile up, the more confused I get on who I really am. I am currently in the phase where I am trying to find myself -- or create myself. Thanks for the bits of wisdom you've put here.

Anyway, I commend the repetition of the above lines. It adds to the drama of this great poem. Your style reminds me of Elliott Edwards. Are you, by any chance, a fan of his or he a fan of yours? I notice similarities. :) Well done!

Thank you for your kind review.
He got me back into writing poetry again after reading some of his writes. He gives me inspiration and I use it to try to develop as a writer. Perhaps that may be where our similarities show through?
If you like, compare my old poem 'Equillibrium' (an old poem before I knew him) with this one.
Again many thanks for your review ^-^
