Crossroads

Posted Feb 14, 2011 · 20 lines · 1 critiques

We walk down the dark roads,
The dark halls that lead
A path to where I hoped it will
Definitely lift my being:
Into the arms of your nourishment
And redeeming.

We climb the steepest hills,
The valleys that echo our voices
Where I yelled a thousand names, which
Only one name answers back
My calls of grief, woe
And misgiving.

I could never disagree on
The fact that it was you who keeps

Read the rest of the poem Show less

Guiding my soul on the way
Through the dark halls and steep hills.
Hence, I offer the largest portion
Of my life, the biggest measure
Of what the soul would call:
Meaning.

"Valentine" by @amalzamani
"Hmm... writing to Mr. Valentine himself. Nice piece to emphasize a culture of "holiday-for-profit" schemes. Love should always be celebrated the whole year round. This day has been made an excuse for committing pleasure…"

"Communication" by @amalzamani
"This one is so true. But should the syllables of a senryu be 5-7-5 rather than 5-8-5? Or silly me, being a Filipino, pronounced nor-ma-lly instead of norm'ly?"

""A change of scenery" " by @shirley harrison
"I can relate to this very well. Somehow things go wrong even though we tend to strive hard and "better" the situation. Stuck at the same place --- although it seems we're running miles and miles. Nice piece :)"
