bolarinwa - Hello Poetry

Never, never thought! A thought struck my mind, seated by the tree. Under the moonlight, in the shower of the beams   A trip down memory lane, a familiar face laughed  Though in sadness he smiled, alone with his thought  Never to be seen in public.   I spoke with an uneasy voice, one I barely recognised 'D-Dad'? Why are tears streaming down your cheeks? As though he could hear me, he smiled and waved off!  The weight we carried, you’d understand someday!    Today, I sat by the old tree, under the moonlight, I couldnt helped but smiled  I softly said, now I understand.

Never, never thought! A thought struck my mind, seated by the tree. Under the moonlight, in the shower of the beams   A trip down memory lane, a familiar face laughed  Though in sadness he smiled, alone with his thought  Never to be seen in public.   I spoke with an uneasy voice, one I barely recognised 'D-Dad'? Why are tears streaming down your cheeks? As though he could hear me, he smiled and waved off!  The weight we carried, you’d understand someday!    Today, I sat by the old tree, under the moonlight, I couldnt helped but smiled  I softly said, now I understand.

Just a little lighter I felt peace, in the quietness A breath I didn’t know I held A smile tugged on my face Rivers of tears down my cheeks In silence it felt liberating A little lighter i felt The burden of the world on my souls The pain of it burns to my being Such a sweet lovely pain Under the drops of water The noise deafen, despite been little Forged by the pain, i felt no more peace Thrived by chaos.

A little lighter

Just a little lighter I felt peace, in the quietness A breath I didn’t know I held A smile tugged on my face Rivers of tears down my cheeks In silence it felt liberating A little lighter i felt The burden of the world on my souls The pain of it burns to my being Such a sweet lovely pain Under the drops of water The noise deafen, despite been little Forged by the pain, i felt no more peace Thrived by chaos.

Never, never thought! A thought struck my mind, seated by the tree.

It’s been 5 years since I last checked in Do you ever feel tired? It’s been 5 years since I truly cried, do you ever feel overwhelmed?    I’ve always been in the shadow, building walls   Not just for myself, but for everyone.   I never truly understood what emotions were   I cry and I laugh, I sighed and I smiled  just as the actor on stage did.    I watch everything in my life happen just like I watched the red one.    Never in control, never truly owning it.    When I try, I always back away from the silent wars he carries.    Some battles are fought by sword and some by tinted wine   I often ponder how it all came to this.     I guessed I would never know, I never was in control.

Dear note, do you ever feel tired?

It’s been 5 years since I last checked in Do you ever feel tired? It’s been 5 years since I truly cried, do you ever feel overwhelmed?    I’ve always been in the shadow, building walls   Not just for myself, but for everyone.   I never truly understood what emotions were   I cry and I laugh, I sighed and I smiled  just as the actor on stage did.    I watch everything in my life happen just like I watched the red one.    Never in control, never truly owning it.    When I try, I always back away from the silent wars he carries.    Some battles are fought by sword and some by tinted wine   I often ponder how it all came to this.     I guessed I would never know, I never was in control.
