My Immortal Poem by Brooklyn Sorrow

My Immortal

Rating: 5.0


You've died.
You're gone.
But you're here for ever.
Eternally mine.

I know you've left me.
My pain is great.
My loss is powerful.
My heart is fragile.

I can't get around the truth.
So I believe the lie.
Can't take this.
I want to die.

My immortal.
Yes that's what you are.

My immortal.
Watching me from afar.

My immortal.
Forever divine.
Forever here.
Eternally mine.

Hi Brooke - This is another elegantly structured and phrased FREE VERSE MODERN POEM - the flow is so so smooth and the ending negates the angst at the begining - perfect. Because it is an excellent poem - in its genre - I score it a MAX (TEN) . You have a genuine poet's heart and poet's mind and what you share with us is pure poetry. Synopsis: V 1 Faces the fact of death counteracted by your faith in IMMORTALLITY. V 2&3 Describe poignantly the pain of loss: 'My loss is powerful - My heart is fragile - I want to die'. V 4 Changes the mood completely and introduces the joy of the presence of the IMMORTAL. 'My immortal for ever divine - forever here - eternally mine'. We need to have the assurance (which I am sure you have Brooke) that our loved ones are with the Angels and like the Angels their 'presence' is with us to comfort and strengthen us. Our deep Sorrow is turned to pure Joy by their 'presence. Lovely poem by a lovely young poet. Love you in Poetry - JOHN.
