Poem Commentary

This poem represented my feelings while I was in high school. The inspiration was taken from the poems of a great Romanian Poet, George Bacovia, who was born in the same town I come from. The poem was written on April 28th 2005, but I never published it anywhere. I like it very much...therefore I hope you do too...

Gray

Gray, the sky, when God is crying,
That on Earth misdeed is lying.
No ray breaks into the sorrow,
As goodness begins to narrow.

Gray, the wind's whistling song
Cleaving silence like a gong,
Lets us know the words it's hauling,
That in our souls are mauling.

Gray, the hearts wear off their value...
Sadly, this I have tot tell you,
Everything weeps on this Earth
It's worth for another mirth!

Gray, the streets on which I wander,
Through thoughts from others I sunder,
Though the life is all my food,
I am still misunderstood.

Gray, the puddles on the street,
Gray, the minds made of concrete,
Gray, the thoughts that do not rhyme,
Gray, the signs we cannot mime.

"Gray, the hearts wear off their value" Gray I silently cry a river of pain....
