Faded dreams and misery

Faded dreams and misery

I get lost in those memories
Faded dreams and misery
Pain before dishonor…I promised
My life at a stand still….suffering accomplished
Who am I they asked
A poet unknown...now unmasked
I cant think, confusion settles in
Words for the heart broken…stories never end
I get lost in those memories
Faded dreams and misery
My sins went and turned their back on me
The truth went and lied…..to me
Now the hourglass of my life is dwindling
With happiness I see no…rekindling
Pain before dishonor was what I promised
Mission…..accomplished
I get lost in those memories 
Faded dreams and misery
My past….wont say goodbye to me
Sometime I feel like God likes to…hide from me
The key to my mystery
Lost forever…ones history
Now the clock of my life is slowly ticking away
Hope for tomorrow…gone today
I get lost in those memories
Faded dreams……. and misery!

Hi Morris, love the poem, and this line {The truth went and lied…..to me)  My God it drove me crazy, so much meaning hidden in it.

Thank you again Shirley.. That was fresh off the press tonight. a poem will come to me out of nowhere and i just write, write and write some more. I never title a poem until its finished. poetry is my passion and writing brings peace to me and to my life. So God has to come for me before my pen ever stops lol thanks again for your support!

Once again my soul begins to roam in the world of P B Shelley having observed the contents of your remarkable composition 'Faded dreams and misery'. Thanks for sharing the poem.

Brother Morris,

      Either this is what you've always been- OR your power is growing. Now, I bow down and applaud you. In your words... "Good shit!!!" LOL!

What's up Morris,

Sometimes partner we must say good bye to our past instead, and as much as we would love for it to be,not all things can be conquer, but they at some point can be contained,at least until we have found that alternative route, around the origin of its existence. Sometimes we are only as sick as our secrets allow us to be but for every ailment, lies a cure, we just haven't been privileged and humbled enough, through God, to be entrusted with its, (simple to him,yet a mystery to mankind) recipe.We are who we are, for a reason, trials and tribulations are part of our testimonial makeup but to him it's our test in time...He hadn't turned his back on you, he just wonna see whether you are gonna run and hide, or battle back your demons in submission, as he once did for you, while he takes that needed break you allowed him, with your in-site triumph, over all that afflicted you, while he sits back for that one moment to recline, that you gave him. He hear you player, he's amazed at what you do and it aint done for the fun, its done, because it has to be done and its your time to shine......Like the two lines below..  

Later,

Jim

My sins went and turned their back on me,
The truth went and lied…..to me.

Your feedback meant a lot. When I write I close my eyes and vision what it is i am writing about and just let my mind carry me through it. this next poem I am finishing up called "I'm in the corner" is just that me with a vision thats put into words. As poets we will, can and should always learn new idea's and ways from other poets. If my style works for you then I have done my job as a poet.
