Dawning Lucidity (a poem)

[frazz]

What just happened?
Should I not be in pain?
A part of my life is over
Dead and gone
But instead of loss
The closing of this chapter has brought me joy
I eagerly await the next verse
Like a junkie wanting a fix
I salivate with anticipation
I know I will feel pain again
But I know I will also know euphoria
Without the darkness the can be no light
I will bathe in the glorious sunshine
And wish away the night
Dusk will come
As it always does
But I will remember this moment
To nurture me through the void
As I await the next dawn

Are you guys trying to tell me something?

Oooo, hopeful!
frazz, you honestly have a knack for putting a new light on some "standard" topics I love your direct imagry, in this and other poems,

[frazz]

Honestly cats there are times I feel something so strongly that I have to write it down. There's no editing process. How I'm feeling at that moment is what I write. So my topics are almost always "stardard".

I used to try to ryhme and stay in meter. But I was never good at that. So now I just do free form. These poems end up as a diary in a way. I know exactly what happened to trigger each one.

Thanks for the compliments!

I understand totally what you mean. I do the same with many of my writings. A moment of emotion will give me inspiration.
I find that rhyming takes away what I'm trying to say in my poem. In my poems it is almost as if each line is a poem within itself.
