Poetry
A Maze
By brook_rivers
26 August 2006
I am lost
In a Maze
Of Broken dreams
Every way I turn
There is an obstacle

I can not see
My way out
Or the route
That leads to the heart

I can only see back;
behind me
To the precarious path
The beaten track
On which i have already passed

To the circles
I have walked in
Trying to find myself
trying to find you.

Confession

I have to confess, I'm not sure I know how to read serious, modern poetry. However, this piece captures an emotion in time and I liked it.
Hurting and Deep

Brook this is poignant, painful poem and one that screams of need. The need to find direction, to catch a line and draw in, back to a loving heart.  
 
Again the honesty conveyed in your words gives this poem a sudden brutality, a feeling a unbelieavably deep hurt and pain, and that resolution is still out of reach... 
 
It hurt me to read this, but I am also pleased I did, as this is superb. 
 
With best wishes

Mishmish hit the nail on the head here. Brilliantly deep and painful. Well done.
Ouch!

Sorry, just painful to me. The ramblings of a disorganised, confused mind. I think you may be the Spinal Tap of poetry - this is like a pastiche of 1960's hippy psychadelic claptrap.  
 
I'll have a gram of what you're on...
