Attempt at Poetry

Stand by me, stand by me;
The illusion of you is so comforting.
Suddenly, the past is a blur and
The path ahead so clear,
the light fills my eyes. I can't see.

Such bliss, this is;
Unbelievable, pure, soothing.
Pain dissolves, and regrets wash away,
Like dust from leaves
When it rains. Bliss.

And I flow with the current;
Not knowing where it leads me.
For I have you. You will not deceive me, will you?
And so it flows, this river
Of bliss and faith. Perhaps, even infinity.

And every river that flows
Brings a promise; the ocean.
And as I flow along, I get caught in a fallen tree,
The river, it doesn't stop for me.
And light fills my eyes;
Only this time, I can see.

And it strikes me like a bolt of lightening,
That illusions have toyed with my mind.
The world comes to a standstill,
Breath abandons me for a moment
As I fight the tide to reach ashore; struggling.

Emotions flood the mind
But the thirst for survival is so strong
That I am numb.
And then, I am alive.
Solitude, not loneliness, freed me from the bind.


I just wrote this. I know its far from being refined. I don't have a name for it though. Let me know if anything strikes you if/when you read it.
