A Drowning Soul

A Drowning Soul

My broken soul wanders through fields

Of green grass,

Pine trees, tinted flowers surrounded

By the mountains delicate beauty, their eyes 

Gazing at me embracing my broken heart, on this

 Cool windy day

My soul strolls, my heart weeps

My soul is drawing in

Solitude

God I’m grateful for that one glorious day

I met and married the man

Chosen

For me in dreams of yesterday

Though he was nearly grasped from me as darkness

Invites desire treachery

Invades with intent to terminate

My safe haven

I love him more than I love life

I’m praying that he loves me half as

Much as I love

Him

My heart it’s dying piece by piece day by day

Unruly duplicity images remain flashing

In the tunnels of my

Mind

Nightmare keeps haunting me

Night and day

Trying hard to forget I've sheltered the gates

Of raw visions,

Sorrowful memories, inserted

Within my soul upon

Life’s journey

Ambling here conversing with self,

God I’m asking

Why was I born into a life

Where every

Night my soul cries itself to sleep

Alone and lonely

My soul is drowning and suffocating

The life out of

My heart

God you taught me to be kind

Trust friends, loved ones, and my one true love,

I follow your fundamentals

Why must my heart be torn apart?

I just want to soar with angel wings unto

Heaven

I’m not angry that you handed me

A very painful trail

From

The first day I was born

Everyone bestows sadness to

My soul

It’s been a very hard road to

Follow and survive when

Everyone takes pleasure in tearing

Your life apart

I’m not as strong as you believe

God, Today

I place my broken soul and shattered heart

In the palms of your Glorious Hands

Please put an end to my

Drowning Soul

And scatter tears of poetry

Upon my spirit

Grant me angel wings to soar

Up to heaven.

[Coyote Poetry]

A beautiful and powerful poem. Your words are true in the poem. The hard days seem to block out the good days. We must look for the good in a new day and allow the bad things to fade away. I like the complete poem. Took me on a journey of understanding. We need assistance in our life to be able to know happiness and peace. A outstanding poem. Thank you.

This is beautiful and yet the truth is he makes us weak so we will depend on him. Goodness knows I'm strong willed to many times.

[Ladysue]

WOW...the first line drew me right in with such emotion and image as does the entire piece. I could feel the sadness ...a heart longing for love. This is utterly beautifully written. The music so calming to my soul. This line is so moving...

Grant me angel wings to soar
Up to heaven.

A beautifully sad piece..written so wonderfully...

[Stef Outsiders]

WOW, this is expressive, there was sadness, yearn and love... but this feels, I can feel your words jump out to me... I'm not a believer of god, but many tell me he listens and hopefully he will answer... in some way!
Great piece...
