Writing More poems

[Heaven's Cloud]

I thought I would start my own poem thread, and people could read it if they desired...if not, then bah. I tend to want to write several at a time instead of one a day, so maybe this thread will pick up all the poems the "today's Poem" misses. Here is my first installment...well, it is just a meaningless rant but I kinda liked it and, although it has no definitive rhyme scheme, it sounds nifty if it is read at an increasing pace.

[b]Why I Tremble[/b]
[color=indigo]It started slow
yet now is quite strong
I should not have ignored
it for so long.
Its shadow crept
from under my bed,
into my thoughts,
into my head.
It invades my dreams,
I cry in the night.
I twist and turn,
struggle and fight.
It feeds on my sweat,
my tears,
and my fears.
It bought
my thoughts
and keeps them near,
it uses them against me
my hope
becomes my enemy
yet still I can't see
it is loose and runs free.
But it is oh so close,
both my spectre
and my ghost.
I scream,
I yell,
I curse,
I moan,
Oh why can't my conscience
leave me alone?[/color]

[color=indigo]Forever and a day
came and went
As I stared blankly
at the note you sent
You wished me farewell
in a hasty little note
then left for the harbor
and climed on a boat
you sailed through the seas
to fight the man in the sand
for freedom, for hope
for oil, for land
I hope you are safe
and not led astray
by greed or revenge
by black thoughts one day
And as I stare blankly
at your note
and read the words
you so tersely wrote
I think of the words
you probably meant
Forever and a day
came and went[/color]
