Beyond the mist

Poetry is one of my favorite things to write right after prose and rap lyrics. Here’s a new poem on my blog about one’s foggy mind at times.

 

I stand atop a mountain,

But sorrow dwells inside my inner fountain,

My heart races like a rabid dog,

Around my mind there’s a thickening fog,

Memories run rampant like a leaping frog,

While I think of only dirt and smog.

 

Can I be as free as a bird?

The wind has stirred up around myself,

Positive thoughts begin to shake

The very thing I want to break,

Doubts have turned into a living snake

That bit me hard so to stay awake.

 

The dizziness I had is now vanishing rapidly

Under the effect of my undying humanity,

So will I be able to keep my sanity?

My body soars like having been on needles,

Hands are trembling while I’m in the middle

Of making a decision for the wrong reasons.

 

How could I have not known?

That you’ve been in a constant frown,

Why have I gotten you there?

To a point of utter despair,

Was I so scared?

Leaving you alone to fair

Against the all mighty brown bear.

 

Tears are falling down my face,

As the icy shield around my heart

Begins to fade without a trace,

And I want a fresh new start,

So I turn back, deciding not to be smart.

 

An overwhelming feeling of guilt

Wants to destroy all I’ve built,

But out of my own volition

I want our bond to come to fruition

As I jump in front to protect you.

 

Your eyes widen as to eat the sky,

I smile at you as a sign of goodbye,

Both of our hearts would want to fly,

But a thundering blow crushes my spine.

 

It feels weird…

I don’t smell blood,

There isn’t any red flood,

No waters turning to mud,

Instead I see you deep in sleep

As my hopes lift themselves above the mist.

 

The bear is no longer a vivid creation,

It was just a figment of my imagination,

Because I know now that I can feel,

The love we have, one that’s real!
