Black Poetry : a somber moment

[baller]

A Somber Moment

The sky thus filled with tales of gloom
Fabled myths both night and noon
And, though, there spent a misty swirl
My mind did rest atop my world
And in that somber moment’s mood
I sat
I thought
I dreamt of you

The day was draped in “dark and dreary”
A winter’s gray at midday’s weary
And in that somber, meandering moment
I gathered my thoughts that some might merge with
The innocent spirit of one so near
Connected, deeply, to one held dear

The tides were lapping down below
Thundering waves rushed to and fro
But in that moment’s graceful pull
A peaceful quiet…a tide-less lull

I sat upon that restful stage
Internal wars, my soul did wage
That when my battles come to cease
Serenity rules my world of peace

That all might see a Shepard’s hold
Allow my peaceful world’s unfold

I stand before thee…reckless bent
Not dignified…but drama spent
Deprived of all I’ve ever craved
Save for breath…and, so for, days

Eternity, it seems, did I await
For midnight screams to fade away
Coz through those tears a part of me
Gave birth to death that life might be

I read this piece in a somber state, cause it really took me to that place,
my heart got heavy, the tears did come, as I wondered if I was the somber one.
very wonderful, warm and touching art poet !!

Dark but beautiful.

Yes, "somber" it is!....rather melancholy.

And the echo of Edgar Allan Poe was so intricately and skillfully woven into this creative, Gothic MASTERPIECE! But, you definitely made it your own.

Your skill is such, I do believe you can write anything, in any genre or motif and it will be fantastically penned!

I tend to not enjoy somber poetry, but this piece penetrate soul-deep it takes you there.
It reads like a dark struggling journey that ends in brightness… the storm that finally passes.
This is a piece that the mind thoroughly digests. I read it many times and each time its even better.
I truly love this!

I dream to become a masterful poet like you someday

for receiving this so well. i'm trying to recapture a style of writing i once loved...but haven't done in some time. i wasn't sure how it would go over on this site. but, knowing the playground crew, i should have known that we dabble in so much of this art of word play, that it wouldn't have been a problem. AGAIN, i thank you ALL...for your wonderful responses.

I can read so many perceptions
in this piece, especially in this last verse...

I'll keep it to myself, tho.

This is wonderfully done, Baller,
you recapture quite nicely.
