A Tear In Black Water


This is my beloved-eldest son's first poem. After reading my post (ATN's A to Z), he showed me a sheet of paper and told me that it was his very first poem. I feel so sad to read his poem. It touched my heart so hard. I don't know how he faced this world. As a father, I did my best for him. But these days, things are out of my control already.

He asked me if I could post his poem on my blog and he loved to see that on my blog. So I share his with you all, my friends. What I would like to request you is to leave just a comment for him in English. I want to see him happy to read all of your comment on his poem.

(BTW, he is almost 13 now. He was born on 8-8-97, the 9th anniversary of the 8-8-88)

Thank you all.

A Tear In Black Water


My world is dark, my light is lost, in this forsaken realm.
My exist is just.
I do not remember laughter nor happiness.
Water drips slowly away.
I forgot to smile.
All alone with nothing.
I hear not a whisper, I feel nothing, not the wind of a storm, nor the spray of the sea, nor the fury of mother nature.
I'm nothing compare to her, like a human soul to a god.
A tear in black water is a lone soul in a storm of oblivion.
Why, why has she forsaken me?

Buddy, you are only 13! what type of music you listened? your writing is quite dark! you should listen a lots of black metal/death metal/ gothic metal...many...that can give you strong throughts. go check DARKLYRICS.COM. pick up guitar! most greatest guitar-players are from HEAVY METAL.

Thank you for your comment on my poem.
First of all, I love music. But I don't listen to that type of music.
Second of all, I am a visionary.
But you should listen to this...

13 is not a too young age. But the way u wrote this poem is really figurative. What a great job! I would also surely love to read ur poems written on crystal-clear water where full of love is flowing. Grasp ur hope and wait for the door of paradise to open. Nobody forsakes nobody in this world. People are on their way to their own destiny. So are u. :)

It is impressed poem! Try something on happier side.

I assure you that every mother loves her child/ren no matter what. She may not have a chance to show it on the surface.

When you feel bad/dark compare with other people is worst than you, you will feel a lot better. Life is always ups and downs.

Have a wonderful day!

it's a really impressive work as a very first poem.
I like the final touch that you echoed Jesus' famous last mourn.
( Father..why have you forsaken me!)

Brilliant !

Besides your creative works and choice of words, very obvious that it is rather sad and gloomy. So I would have to say that.. Count your blessing ! Life is wonderful.
