Thoughts of the Destitute Heart

Introduction:

In composing todays poem, I wanted to experiment on how a reader will find (or should find) the poem flow as they read it. For example if I wanted an extra silent break in a sine I thought of trying something within the lines of the poem.

But I want to let folks find it for themselves , rather than pointing it out before a reader knew why such was there. This is itself will point folks onto why such is in place. It should change the flow of a line or verse which is what I thought of trying. This is to work on a way to have the reader more involved when reading the poem.

Alkso it provided a little extra work in composing and editing the poem. For truth to be told, I enjoy the editing of a poem almost as much as writing a poem. (BUT just ALMOST _LoL).

But What are the Thoughts Of the Destitute Heart? Basically stating this poem is a selection of thoughts, musings or dreams from the view of one who is or was in a bad place either physically or mentally. or from one who had spent so long lonesome that such thoughts begin to flow.

From another point, I wanted to create a poem with such visions , thoughts or musings from the view of one who was in a poorer or lost place than most. Basically Imagination on my behalf taking a journey on this road of thoughts.

About The Poem:

As I stated above I added a few little things onto the poem to change the flow of the poem. Also a method of giving an extra break in a line so the flow of the ppoem can move as I hope it will.

I am working on how my poetry flows and the creation of such poetry will flow together Or such is my thought. Also I hope that my poetry improves, which is often hard to figure when waiting on and watching how the readers view the poetry.

This poem otherwise is as previous ones in how they appear. I try to keep them to 10 syllables per line, but is not always easy when the flow of the poem either runs short or may tstate too much. Thus the extra silent break as it were appears. BUT not over done either, but rather in a tastefull way or so I believe.

To read this poem One may need to read from the view of one who may have experienced issues that altered their vision of how life was about them and thus giving them a fresher view on how they would like life to be.

In another way, one could call it Myself being in one of those experimental moods in writing. I will be interested in reading how folks have found or read this poem, The Poet in me is more interested in that.

Having Said all of this, Please Enjoy this Poem:

Thoughts of the Destitute Heart 


Beyond tear-filled eyes lay visions untold,
 Sights unseen and words unspoken, ne’er gold. 
But then hearts of the hopeless break some more, 
Behind those tear-stained eyes, find smiles before.

Where flowers grow and bloom there once again,
 Lonely souls find love, their hearts start to mend. 
For above -  the lost, on land or sea, 
A once foolish heart -- grows wise to plea.

The blind will see the glory of this game,
 As  those rebel yells echo just the same. 
When no one follows, those once great - stun, 
For darkened lands face - the sun as one.

Yet the midnight bell chimes, - burdens great, 
There, waiting at the gate, one stands in faith. 
For then troubled seas and storms start to cease, 
Yet beneath waiting hands, on - bended knees.

But the poor ne’er on bended knee appeal, 
As thieves steal hearts, - delights to reveal. 
United people ne’er appear until, 
One Love stands tall, past the wall, to fulfill.

ENDING THOUGHTS:

Thank you for joining me on this journey, which is my journey through writing and learning more regarding composing poetry. They say that life is a journey which for me translates into poetry a journey onto itself.

At times I experiment on methods or way how I can improve my poetry, therefore getting feedback is always most welcome for such as these.

Some of my poetry contain topics that at some point will or may not contain issues that readers either agree with or do not, or they have experienced or They will disagree with completely. YET that is Perfectly fine with me. But Poetry is a form of art work that I enjoy and thus using it in a manner to touch or inspire the reader.

My path through writing and publishing Poetry on this blog is a journey beyond any expectations. And numbers have grown past anything I ever expected. In the end of any post I have to Pass on my thanks to you for joining me on this journey.

Poetry for me is a constant learning curve that I always strive to improve. Often due to the speed of my typing and a few other issues, mistakes and typos will find their way into published posts. I continue to work on improving this as I move along.

Please forgive for any such mistakes and for your understanding this.
