Let It In (Leighann) Mark Unseen   Mar 30 04:56 UTC 2000

It's been such a long long time since I've posted here. I was beginning to
think I would never again have something to contribute to the world of poetry,
but I actually have two new recent writings. To my old friends, it's nice to
see you again. =) To any new friends, it's nice to meet you. I hope you like
my depressing, if not annoyingly cliched brand of writing. Here's the 
first of my two new poems. This one is for the girl I thought was my 
dream, but who turned out to be the tainted angel.

Let It In (Leighann)
--------------------

This dream is going to haunt me
Unless it is reality
Until my mind is a swirling
        oblivion
A wishing well of uncertainty

The touch of your breath on my face
A cooling summer eastern wind
Consuming my soul, a tornadic
        uplifting
And I will be free to let you in

Silence the voice
Block out all the screaming
You have the choice
Cuz seeing's believing
I'm at the door
My heart pounding, scheming
Until there's no more
        (Leighann)
Of you I am dreaming

As the children of the world sleep
Your inner child trembles in fear
While the monsters of your past lurk
        under the bed
The child wipes away a single tear

And I stand at the gates of your heart
Broken glass of heartache within
The doors are chained and padlocked all
        love imprisoned
Will you set it free and let me in?

Silence the child
Block out all her screaming
Out in the wild
Beasts are all retreating
I'm at the door
My heart pounding, scheming
Until I'm no more
        (Leighann)
Of you I am dreaming

All of the pain
The pain you hide so well
It will remain
Your own personal hell
But you have the choice
To set it free or let it in

Silence the voice
Block out all the screaming
You have the choice
Cuz seeing's believing
I'm at the door
My heart pounding, scheming
Until there's no more
        (Leighann)
Of you I am dreaming

Of you I am dreaming
....as always....

"You are your own worst enemy," the last line would be?  

Tornadic uplifting -- hells yeah.

This is a cool form, with the short lines and all.  I may have to kidnap
it....

Re #1: Dat's right. =) At least I know now that my usage hasn't gone
completely to hell...

Sad, in a way, seeing as how this girl turned out not to be right.

I feel for you.

Very touching poem.
