His Misery Song

He stands in the only place we'll never know
Keeping the secrets that he won't show
Oh, little boy, won't you stay
Before your dreams start to fade away
His silence is deafening and his hands are weak
He tries to help, but he cannot speak
Tremble in the lamp light of alleys so cold
And think of the streets paved in gold
The angle's wings will soon descend
To take away your troubled friend
Left in a world that doesn't see
The horrible acts beseeched to me
Don't run, little boy, tomorrow will come
But your misery song, I'll continue to hum
With eyes that linger and hands that hold
Watching the little boy who's heart was sold
Death was welcomed with what it would bring
Shrouded in light, upon the wing
Now fly, little boy, through clouds of white
And forget the pain that happened last night

Excellent poem Miss C. Beautiful rhythm and cadence. Could be tightened up a just a bit but I like it a lot. You definitly have a talent for sort of thing. You are only 15? Wow, that's great. You should read some of the earlier poems I have posted. Try Please Listen and Paradox. These were written when I was in high school some 30 years ago. They have sort of a timeless appeal. Let me know what you think. Super job. Thanks for sharing.... K

Well I must say You have alot of talent! It seem like its telling a story about death. Which it doesn't bother me to read it because its a part of life! Your fifthteen and seem like you know alot about the world already!

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
