Praying For Mercy
There is a circus parade,
In my very own head today
Ten thousand times I wept
Died and came back again!
If you could lift this burden
I promise my life to you
Devote all my being
In praise the glory of you!
Every day I call for help
Every night my heart cries
My troubles weight so high
I can barely see the sky!
There is a circus parade
Took over my soul today
I died and came back once more
Still the parade went on
I am down on my knees
Begging for little mercy
Get me out of this mess
And my life is yours to keep!

What a touching poem.
ReplyDeleteI can feel the very deep emotions in this poem again, how very good you are at conveying your emotions when you write just really awes me.
ReplyDeleteI see the agony of a helpless person pleading for relief. I've known those feelings well at times. I hope that's not you right now. Another very good poem.
ReplyDeleteIcy, there is such passion in your poetry whether happy or sad or otherwise. I can always feel your emotions. Excellent piece.
ReplyDeleteI feel sad now. Your fault! };-(
ReplyDeleteThis brings back memories to when I cry myself to sleep. But as all trial comes, it all goes away too..
And btw, on a lighter note, that's a terrible parade in the head. Seeing clowns! I used to hate them when I was a kid. They frighten me...
Strength of emotion and some amazing imagery. This is one of the best I have read from you, BC!

Jo--Thank you so much for all your support.
Daisy--I'm sorry to make you sad..and by the way, my parade didn't have clowns :-)
Michele--Thank you, and we should talk soon!
I really loved the image of the parade in your head. My goodness, I have been there sooooo many times! I hope, in between the noise and confusion, someone was throwing treats your way. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! Clowns are def scary! Anyway, it's always nice to read your poems. :-)
ReplyDeleteDragonsongbird--A little treat here and there is great to catch :-)
ReplyDeleteDaisy--I think clowns are creepy also..
A very expressing experience, shared in language. What was going on when you wrote that? If you feel ready to share.
ReplyDeleteYou really can play with words, I love the poem and the flower. The flower show here are so rare, never seen before's. Thanks for sharing your garden to me and to all of us. Thanks always for the visit.
ReplyDeleteAna--I was going through some really dark time with life at that moment!
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking..
Pacey--I have nothing but words! That flower is zinnia I think! I'm really bad with learning the names of flowers :-( and always forgot by the time I got home.
