On Broken Wings we Fly
Passion triumphs,
when a man has nothing left.
His emotions betray him
where his mind would not.
It's within these seeds
of desolate hope,
where anger is cast aside
and nary a murmur of dark breaks through.
When a man is willing to heal,
only to suffer again,
does he realise; he'd do it again.
Again, and again.
To heal,
only to suffer again.
He'll dream of the skies,
and choose to soar
on broken wings,
the man will fall.

This is a lot more succinct than the pieces I've seen from you before, this style of writing definitely suits you. Nice one

Thanks Dystopian, trading in anger for something a little more consistent.

In general, just in the way your thoughts are coming to the page, this is the greatest thing I've read from you so far, Evan. Just my personal, philosophical taste. Not sure about the broken wings cliche, and I'd swap the semi-colon for a comma.
The third person aspect works really well here with the clever ideas. Pretty impressive, man.

Great thoughts here, Evan. It's unfortunate about the broken wings being a cliche, because it DOES fit so well here.
I liked it very much.

That makes me even more satisfied, the fact that I made a cliche tasteful to the reader. Thanks for your time Atakti.

Bwahahhahhaa! It's so wrong to laugh, I realize that someone gets paid for that work, and it takes skills, and definitely Evan could tackle that easily, but...
Hahahahaha, the thought of Mr Sarov working for Hallmark just kills me! hehehe
Omg, I can't breatheeeeeeeeeeee. MadameLavender, thanks for the giggle...

Wow. The emotional depth of this piece really captivated me. Especially the second time I read it...it sunk in. I think many of us can relate to what you've written here.
Also, your repetition of "again..." was really effective for me. It set in that idea of repeating things over and over... Obviously the word itself instills that feeling also :P but your repetition of it, and the places you put it in the poem worked even better.
Great write Evan.

great!
It's within these seeds

Wow, you are a great poet. :) This is a very uplifting piece, makes me feel frail as I read it, yet oddly hopeful.
