When you got ride of the nightmare
You’ll be attracted to the light
Nothing can be seen in your eye
A compliment or a wish to care

Rain's dropping on your cheeks
No body can understand you're crying
It is hiding your painful tears
How beautiful they are drowning

Here I am --just right by your side
You have been escaped and flied
When I’m with you nothing means as a Fear
How does it hurt crying under the sky which is clear!

Even after many years, I'll return
"The road not taken" is here
I wish you liked the rain and yearn
To come with me my dear!

Even after many rains, you still escape
From thunder and lightning and wind
I know you feel lonely and in cage
But against this life who can defend?

Summer will come again, soon or later
The sun and heat will make you better
The magic of your words will make
My day and --and my heart awake!

You should try harder dear Chen
Sometimes the bad road is taken
Come back to see the other
You can make everything better! :)

the Light ?

Post by Lac »

So do I. I like the light from the Sun. Your poet is as beautiful as a sweet melody flowing from your heart. I have no skills of making poem at all except for greatly admiring our marvelous nature created by God.
I had been in vestibule disturbances before. Staying in bed, every morning I often looked outside to enjoy the sunshine coming to the roof of the next-door neighbour. oh, it's so wonderful.Life is,too !

The weather light seems to shine through
Covers up all my depressed mind
Whispers all the reasons I tried to find
When summer went away, like you do

The sun touch is smiling
To me, like a fool I used to be
Waiting for you, sun set me free
Outside, sun was shining

What a beautiful day
I feel the breeze
And time is like a little leaf chased away
At a beautiful day

Something like pain
Here I won't feel
And all the sorrow went like a tiny rain
I wish it will come again

Nobody is flawless
No coin dealt with ease
And if we won't get a single chance
Still it's harmless

As everything goes by
Like we will see
And hear all wishes leave no reply
Left is a tiny sigh

The past was stifling
Burnt me up from the inside
Sun smiles, had used to bide
All the childish feeling

The December wind, away it go
All nonsense left behind
In the end, from heart to mind
Brightness is what stayed, فروغ

Yes, it is! Your post is a wonderful idea, shows to us that there is no need to put the sentences in rhymes to let them sound beautiful.

In this poem I didnt mean that light is hope.
But generally you're right ,hope is a light that guides us through ups and downs of life.
Thanks for reading my poem :)

I would say, the light is the good thing which past, maybe "good memory". The verb "to stare at something" usually means fixing your eyes on one special thing and disregarding other things: To recall the good things in the past constantly.

So I if I say I would stare at the light, I can mean: "I want to see the good things in life again, I don't want to live in this misery. My recent life is awful, but my past life had been fine. So I claim myself to the past life." (a bit like Anathema)

so however, one deeper meaning of this poem could be a quotation by Konfucious: "Past love is only memory, future love a wish and a dream. Only in the present, here and now, we can really love."
