Vintage Poems- Unknown Worlds

Young poets who have the courage to send their words out into the world always impress me. The first line hooked me. Enjoy!Unknown WorldsBy Winter Driving Hawk, Age 14, Pierre, South DakotaTeenage angst is not something I feelLook through the smoke and mirrorsAnd through me you'll find my pain realSanity has left meLove has never known meAnd my world of the fallen and lost shrouds meYour never flourishing love is the key to open my heartAnd the key to unlock a new worldWith places unknown.The sadness inside me cuts deeper & deeper into these bonesI am cracking at the seamsHoping you, my silver prince, will save meHold me in your arms with nothing but the loveAnd the want to wash away the painThat my past black knight has bestowed upon meWaiting for you to hold me in your arms and wash it all awayBecause you hear your callingTell me you'll stayI'll never let you goI won't let you float away into this dark abyss called life.You are my sky and all you have to do is let me be your start.With our lost (yet newly discovered) love we could travel far.I see you and it feels like my heart's going to explode withwonder.He lied to me, threw me away, and broke my heart ...Will you heal me, hug me, and love me back together?Will you do what he hadn't done?Because if you let yourself love meLike I love you ...Our love will travel farInto unknown worlds.Originally published in Pasque Petals 85.2, Spring 2011Featured image by Jessica Paterson under the creative commons license on Flickr.
