Hope that's yet to bloom- Off the top of my head...been a while
Hope that's yet to bloom
Prosperity; It's bare to me
It's a worn heart; and skidded knees
It's the brush off from reality
It's the vivid loathing; the darkness I see
The stitched up fragment of my memory
I'm crafted with bone; a pure design
A fractured hope composed of time
The clock ticks with a rigid rhyme
Caught by the empty thoughts of mine
A still of words held in the air;
You know them as a simple prayer
I know them as salvation's hand
When it seemed simply like a time to go.
Hope has a way of linking deep
A gentle touch embraced with sleep
A lullaby never meant so much
Because waking up meant feeling more
It's these times; we soon expire
Becoming fuel to damaged fire
Cause as hopes slowly consume
We're left as hope that's yet to bloom

Enjoyed reading this. There's always hope. It can't ever be fully consumed unless we allow it to be.

Greatly appreciated, thank you. It's always nice to receive feedback , i could potentially shorten the title, would require some thought, I often like to tie my poems title to the way I end it in the writing
The greatest prosperity I have ever known or experienced is in the hearts of people and friends I care about. That is what I hoped to find in your poem here, and yes - the seeds of it are there. It just needs a few more.
Hope does have a way of "linking deep" just as you say. This is a nice poem. Nicely written. A gentle hymn in hope for better things...
Tweeted and enjoyed, and perhaps a small suggestion as to the title. I would shorten it to what it ought to be. Let the poem find its way.
You really are a great poet. :)
Nice poem. Voted up.
