A book of poems, most of which have never been published before, though some are award-winning. They show over twenty years of living, and run through all the emotions. The styles range from free-verse to rhyming couplets. Something here for everyone.
This collection consists of two decades of pain and joy, and many emotions in between. If you like rhyming and free verse, with prose interspersed, you will like this work, my first.I would love nothing more than to wax eloquent about this collection of thoughts, and to say that it is a peek into my Soul, which it is. But my own mischievousness prevents me from saying these things. And so it goes for this book as well - these are things I penned to prevent myself from going stark, raving mad. Do with it what you will - enjoy it, embrace it, reject it, hate it or love it, for, it encompasses a number of emotions. I have found some measure of peace after writing them, and I hope you do, too, after reading them.
A book of poetry, a compilation of poems from a lost soul trying to find their own way in the world, themselves, even after being broken, after hardship, poetry is an escape until they are able to find themselves.
The Testimony Of A Lost Soul is a collection of poems which reflect my life. A life that has been a long road. It's a collection of a broken, painful past, and the bad choices I have made along the way. Yet, I have found a quasi peace as time goes by. As it's said, "Time heals all wounds."
Over The Abyss I should have known Should have seen it coming. I ignored the signs, I tried to embrace the light, To live a good life. Only the darkness was to strong. The shadows consumed my soul. I tried to fight back, only I was to weak. All the difficulties I faced Try as I might, I could not overcome. Darkness consumed my heart, I started to lose my mind. All of my problems, I tried to hide. The forces of darkness, Had me in their sights, though I tried to fight back, I had no help. I could not embrace the light. I was sent spiraling out of control. Though I was in its grasp, I continued to resist. If I struggle for all eternity I’ll still refuse to give in. I still have a will of my own, It is not enough. Stuck in a prison Hanging over the abyss. I lost another life, I wonder If I will be missed. My soul is up for ransom The price to high to pay. Help me, save me My life is undone. I lost this round In the game we play. I missed the opportunities To even the score. I strayed from the path, I was given. Lost in the wilderness Nothing forgiven. Whispers from the grave Calling me home. My soul is lost, cannot be saved. Lost in a vacuum Of time and space. Screaming in agony I am out of place. Hanging over the abyss, Floating in space.
