jen capaldi Poems

In the darkest hours of night
I can see a brilliant shining light
It eminates from the thoughts of you
Because you are so loyal and true
...

You told me one night you had conquered the rift
And if I looked outside I would find your gift
So I looked outside and stared in awe
At the magnificence that before me I saw
...

In a glen in a forrest
A forrest of old
That in it's time of youth
Whispers of magic were uttered
...

I miss you
Your own selfish pride
Your hubris and narcissism
Is what made you go away
...

I am lost
I cannot be found
I am trapped in a labyrinth
With no hope of rebound
...

You placed me in a cage
A cage with no bars
A cage with no doors
A cage you created in my mind
...

The soft whispers, the violent screams, the wimpers of self induced pain. My life such a crime that it was wasted on this earth, molested by the winds, raped by the sun, murdered by the fire. I am a victim of this earth, attempting to live and die at the same time.

You cannot tell me how impossible it is to live with a pessimistic attitude. I already know. I am not ignorant, I am not all knowing.
~~ I am trapped ~~
...

There is nothing left
It has all been stripped away
All except for my tears
And the memories that you've left me
...

I step outside
Under a confused sky
A strom seems to be abrew
And the elements whisper to me
...

Through an arduous journey,
A sojourn of seeking,
Enlightenment through the elements,
The gifts of the earth,
...
