Empty Lines Staring... by ~RobbieDtkd:iconRobbieDtkd:



Empty Lines staring;
Expecting to be filled.
At this late night hour,
My minds blood;
Calling to be spilled.

Frustration kicks in.
Another sleepless night.
The 3am clock light halted.
My perfect slumber faulted.

Rain from the window.
The quietness of the night.
A frank realisation;
Where am I in life?

A moment of weakness
Caught in this time and place
It drags me down;
Trying to disgrace;

My emotions set ablaze
I still have so much left to say.
I defied it all.
Got what I aimed for
Relying solely on myself.

It all resurfaces;
Those I thought would support;
Come crashing down.
The truth becomes contort;
As the night begins to drown;

Amidst the morning dim of light.
I continue to ask:
Was my idea of before ever right?  

Now an unexpected feeling
Despite aspirations to begin
Inner devil dealings
Craving that heavenly skin.

I now just need to sleep.
When tomorrow comes;
A new future will be mine to seek.

I was taking a little breather from poetry for a while; as I'm working on something much bigger; but as I was having a dry spell thought i'd post this.
I wasn't originally planning to do so many rhyming couplets, as i do far too many of them; but after writing and rewriting this about seven times I just thought what to hell.
I had also planned to have more of a late night feel to this, concentrating on describing that but I don't think i suceeded.
Oh well enjoy.

I think you suceeded. My fav line is:
Frustration kicks in.
Another sleepless night.
The 3am clock light halted.
My perfect slumber faulted.
I imagine someone sitting at a wood desk, the desklamp on as he busily scraches away at a notebook of easel. I love it.

Thank you :) I was all over the place with this. Started with an idea of describing a sleepless night, then it turned to what i had achieved, then memories etc etc. Altho maybe that fits? When its late at night our thoughts, or my thoughts at least, tend to get jumbled. Ack i don't know! :D thank you again though!

lol, you're very welcome, and its true. I know my thoughts get jumbled as well. Half the things I put down on paper never fully make sense unless you read them twice. :)
