(Poem) Painting of the Souls

Deep within I know my questions will be my bane.

Inside I know that it is not of feign.

I have my answers, of that I am sure.

The path I take is the cure.

 

My questions answered with sound from her lips,

and my heart clinging to the words before it slips.

Painting of the souls is what occurs in time,

when the hearts of ones who should be together, her’s and mine.

 

When ink and paint drip together,

my heart feels connected in a tether.

Questions still linger, but I hold hope.

They will weigh me down, with only her hand holding up this slope.

(Poem) Pits of Ice

Venturing into the pits of ice,
shivering in the lonely black.
It happened at a throw of dice,
losing the warmth somewhere back.

Whispers in her voice flow with the wind,
it’s all around to escape such a heavenly noise.
My chilled voice follows all of those sinned,
with the absence of all of our joys.

What comes next, after the forges and now the pits.
A fortress of despair? Castle of sorrow?
I push on, continuing takings the icy hits,
wishing to make it, hoping time will let me borrow.

(Poem) Forges of Confusion

Each day, another question asked.
Answers revealed only subtly.
Wondering how many days have passed,
waiting to get some sort of rebuttal.

Pounding away in the forges of confusion,
questions swirl around in the smoke.
Just a smith to get the resolution,
to get out if this before I choke.

The hand extended is the escape.
I want to take it without hesitation.
Will the hand I reach partake?
My heart aches at my procrastination.

I wrote this poem quickly for a Creative Writing class prompt. I can be rather terrible at rhyming.
