4 Methods to Soothe Raging Emotions: Out of My Misery

I long for silence to finally consume
the screams that echo deep - my private hell.
This storm of thoughts will usher forth my doom.

My lungs contrict against the fears which loom;
am I the only one whho hears them yell?
(Oh how) I long for silence to finally consume.

I scream in hopes of lessoning the gloom;
how many wasted breaths mus I expel
(before) this storm of thoughts does usher forth my doom.

I turn the music up and forge a womb
to drown out fears as they begin to swell.
(Please Lord) I long for silence to finally consume.

The pounding bass works fiercly to entomb
emotions raging forth--to help dispel
this storm of thoughts which ushers forth my doom.

My heart's resigned to never feel the bloom
of peace until I say my last farewell.
(Oh how) I long for silence to finally consume
the storm of thoughts which ushers forth my doom.

Notes:  Today is Friday and thus when I typically post my CIHTD? post.  However, inspiration for that came earlier this week on Wednesday with 3WW's words for this week.  Still I feel a bit out of sorts for not posting a song inspired piece today.  I have consoled myself by including music as part of the poems essense.

This also makes poem number four in my "Methods to Soothe Raging Emotions" series.

Over at the dVerse Poets Pub for FormForAll they are exploring villanelle.  While this is not a new form for me, it has been quite awhile since I last toyed with it...so I figured I give it another go.  I did take a couple of liberties...but I've come to accept that part of learning the rules is breaking them. 

If you get a chance, check out how some of the other dVerse talents tackled this form.

0 Villanelle...attempt two and three

i toyed a bit more...though i don't think i've improved much...

Believe

I could make all my dreams come true
and every wish my heart holds dear
if I would just believe in you

It should be so easy to do
if I just release all the fear
I could make all my dreams come true

Somewhere in my heart there's a clue
I should but hope to see it clear
if I would just believe in you

But for me this is all so new
and yet should I let go a tear
I could make all my dreams come true

I need to open my arms, too
pull you to me and hold you near
if I would just believe in you

Don't you know that with just a few
simple words whispered in my ear
You could make all my dreams come true
if I just believed in me, too

Pledge

With her hand in his, their pledge is made
deep in their hearts, they feel it is right
this promise of love that shall not fade

For this evening she has dreamed and prayed
to find a love so dear, she'll hold on tight
with her hand in his, their pledge is made

To see him, she's no longer afraid
with his gaze on hers, she cannot fight
this promise of love that shall not fade

As he stands there and waits--his nerves frayed
she moves to him, a vision in white
with her hand in his, their pledge is made

With such sweet simple words he has laid
his heart bare, what a beautiful sight
this promise of love that shall not fade

This moment in time, they will not trade
full of love, they dance away the night
with her hand in his, their pledge is made
a promise of love that shall not fade

Does not count toward required three minimum.

0 Villanelle--Come to Bear

i thought to study a form of poetry
to expand myself and explore something new
thinking i could master it so simply

to pull words together and set my soul free
by expressing myself and my point of view
i thought to study a form of poetry

everything it shall take is deep inside me
though i hide it away--showing it to few
i know i could master it so simply

so i read and i read until i could see
what the masters of this form already knew
i thought to study a form of poetry

with my newfound knowledge how hard could it be
writing this poem i could definitely do
no doubt i could master it so simply

now that i read it over, was i crazy
to attempt such a feat and give it its due
i thought to study a form of poetry
as though I could master it--so simply
