Unrequited Effort by eternal-memories Published on 06/07/2008


Reality, he hits and startles me
My heart ponders with every beat it takes
How much have i to love to be loved in return?
Why is it that the mountains i lay down
Do not bring back even a shilling's worth?


The rumblings conquering my mind
They kill the speed of light
Tormenting me with chants
Of how much i have lost
Of the big part of my heart it has cost.


I wish I had not tried
I wish I had not pried
But wishing to reverse time
Is pointless in itself
Do the serpents soar as eagles do?


By trying, i yielded more pain
As adding salt to the wound
My attempts scraped me of my pride
Scarring my innermost feelings
A living being can only take as much.


This three-part sonata will be concluded
With an ignorant pause at the end
I will let go of this bitterness
However i will try no more
But dwell in golden silence

with each poem I read from u, I seem to become more and more impressed. this is rlly beautiful. you write so well and choose your words so precisely and defined. I love the last stanza the most. letting go of all the memories and solitude, but refusing to carry on, instead to suffer in silence, it's heart-breaking. love it =] tgc xxx

Beautifully written!The pace of this poem is good too & makes for an easy and satisfying read (i think).U use your words well making them very discriptive adding more value to the overall piece.Oh & the title is simply fitting!
