Looking down upon

The botched up plans

Crafted in fact

By my own youthful hands

Now lying in the stagnant waters

Of a well of forgotten dreams

 

Remembering that

Not everything is how it seems;

The love we rested upon

Is not as strong as it used to be

But a scattered reflection

In which I sought

The security and protection

That is no longer there

Only a vacant and hollow stare

Gazing back at me

From the well of forgotten dreams.

  1. This is a very complete poem, doing so many things I often want from poetry, inculding sending a shiver down my spine. I love this one, and with it, Rowland will be joining Auden and Marcinkevičius on my wall.

    1. Tom… thank you so much for expressing your exact sentiments after reading my poetry. It honestly means the world to me that it has impacted you in such a way and I feel honoured to be amongst the likes of Auden in your eyes! I feel deeply encouraged, which I am ever grateful for.
