Hello everyone!!! ^_^
I have decided to claim my own thread in this section as a place to store and displace my various works of literary arts.
I don't know how many of you appreciate the wonderful world of words, but I hope that my works will still invoke a sense of powerful emotions to everyone who reads them. ^_^
I will update this thread with new works as often as I finish them. For now, the first begins with another perspective poem in the same vain as my entry for the last contest, except this one will be dedicated to SonicBoom. ^_^
A Mother's Tears
Some say the greatest thing you can ever own,
Is something material that you can touch and hold,
Money, belongings, a wonderful big home,
But I disagree, I think those people are cold.
I believe the greatest joy anyone can ever feel,
Is to have a baby to call your own, a precious child.
To see them before you very eyes, the feeling is so real,
It expands your whole being, a feeling so far from mild.
I was once held as a beloved wife,
But my love was taken by a terrible wizard,
And I felt as though I had lost my whole life,
But there was one thing that kept me pillared.
Before he was taken I was given a blessing,
I was made a mother to three dear children,
And it made my heart's hurt, far less pressing,
For we had thought myself to be forever barren.
Three beautiful chicks I was given to love,
For me to teach and to watch grow old,
To me they were beyond precious, a gift from above.
But sadly for us, the story was far from told.
The evil wizard whom had killed my other half,
Had tracked us down for more of our magic,
But to protect my chicks I fought him and his evil staff,
And in the end I had triumphed, yet it was tragic.
The wicked man retreated with haste,
But not before he left a curse on us all,
Forever he said my chicks would be disgraced,
For forever more they are cursed to be small.
Time passed after he left, and to my horror I saw,
Something that completely broke my heart,
He had cursed my babies, the three I so very adore,
To be forever separate from me and forever apart.
I couldn't believe it was such a terrible curse,
For each time my babies grew,
They would be to suffer times reverse,
And be placed into there eggs anew.
Tear's left my eyes as my babies were made,
Into endless cycles to simply be reborn,
And to this day there life is delayed,
For all my babies I heartfelt morn.
A mother's pride is her babies happiness,
But how can mine ever see such a light?
When they are forced to suffer such accursedness.
I pray each day for an end to this plight.
But each day my prayers are unanswered remain,
For they hatch and return,no end ever showing,
And my heart breaks each time, with unending pain.
For my babies have no way of every growing.
I see other mother's and my heart fills with sorrow,
Please just tell me why... why is it so?
Please take this pain away, this unending hollow,
Just tell me why... why I am not allowed to see my babies grow?...
I must say I can empathize with SonicBoom in a sense... and so no matter how many times I rewrite this simple poem I just can't seem to capture the feelings I want to portray for her... her story makes me so sad... TT_TT
Anyway what did you all think? I will be posting more soon, so watch this thread however often you wish. ^_^
(oh! Just in case anyone missed it, this poem is ABAB. )
