Soul of Sorrow
Hear my spirit cry out.
In the oceans of memory my soul swims.
I taste the remembrance of life,
Only to drown in the tears of regret.
Oh what pity and despair I share with shadows of forgotten entities of desolation.
For I’m doomed to an eternity of darkness and sadness
and loneliness, and the overwhelming desire to live again.
In the oceans of memory my soul swims.
I taste the remembrance of life,
Only to drown in the tears of regret.
Oh what pity and despair I share with shadows of forgotten entities of desolation.
For I’m doomed to an eternity of darkness and sadness
and loneliness, and the overwhelming desire to live again.

hello dearest Robert I think wisdom is when we can overcome our baser instincts... learning how to love and grow my baser instincts can be very dark if I feed this it gets worse... so I only encourage it sometimes for the most part choosing to be chaste of soul so I don't succumb I too want to live on...I think there are entites greater than us I know there are because I have encountered them and even they must be chaste of vision or there just wouldn't be anyone else how sad that would be... a very thought provoking write I read your other one too but it was too dark for me ❤️

Thank you so much. You are very kind. I appreciate the input as I’m a rookie and love reading and writing but I’m still learning. I look forward to reading your material and hope I can be half as gracious as you. Until next time….

“Oh what pity and despair I share with shadows of forgotten entities of desolation.”
That line is poetic gold. I’m going to go further. I call it poetic freedom. Acknowledging and embracing desolation doesn’t give it as much power. That’s how I look at it.
Your poem touched me deeply. Welcome to DUP.

Hello and thank you for your kindness. I appreciate your feedback as I’m still trying to find my way in writing. As far as desolation goes, I was imagining another realm or dimension where the entities actually came from. A lonely land of desolation. The astronauts who landed on the moon while walking around called it magnificent desolation. Maybe I need to correct the ending of this line. Any suggestions? I’m not asking for you to rewrite it for me. I’m simply saying should I change it? Thank you for your time.

Thank you. I really appreciate that. Isn’t it strange how poetry can just come out of nowhere and so easily? Then sometimes you really try to write something great and…….nothin’
