Let me be the one who blocks out the sun

Intense thoughts of hate and rage meet.
Run, I’ll be 20 feet tall, towering over you,
one step moves me farther away.
You go in circles, and I …
Walk the winding path of life
So enjoy your gerbil ball.

I’ll be reluctant to cross paths,
Cry if you want, it does no good.
Brushing tears off shoulder
Any further are destined for ground
Sit there alone, thinking.
My shoulders gone

My wall?
… Impenetrable, it has to be lowered,
You can’t ninja past it,
Attempts lead to failure.

My walk, my stride, my heart.
They leave with me.

You can’t attain, you earn.
Never seemed to surface for you, will it ever?
Ability to change hasn't either.
Hope for the best, leave to the shallowness I’d expect.

Send your cries seaward
Only the fish want to hear them.
Ignorance, it flows with you, it’s your aura.

Consumed by the inability to think for anyone but yourself.
Hope for progression.

SUNBLOCK

I read this and hello my name is Ms Mona. I never read any of your poems or writes so here I am on your page. I did like this however and wanted to tell you I so love the sun and can feel you when you say you want to block the sun. The sun to me is warmth, love, and light and sometimes a deep dark tan. I just would like to phrase from an old song, Dont let the sun go down on me by our great Elton John an old song from my high school days that still rings true inside me. Love to see more of your work Magics02

Well thank you very much, but that was a long time ago. I've found a really nice girl who treats me the way I treat her, which is amazing. But should I need some, I'd be more then happy to talk with you :).

Well, well, Mr longest pen name ever,

your poem does indeed block out the sun. How about arranging the lines a little more poetry-stylish? Let me be the one who blocks out the sun…… When the thoughts of intense hate and gut rage meet, you better run, I’ll be 20 feet tall, and over you. one step advancing me further than you’ll ever go in your life, you go in circles, and I … walk the winding path I have come to call life, so enjoy your gerbil ball. I’ll be reluctant to cross paths, you can cry if you want, it does you no good, I’ve brushed your tears off my shoulder, the next one will hit the ground and you can sit there alone and think about the shoulder that was once there. My wall? … impenetrable, it has to be lowered, you can’t ninja past it, your attempts to try only lead to failure. My walk, my stride, my heart. they leave with me. you can’t attain, you earn. that never seemed to surface for you, I doubt it ever will. the ability to change hasn’t quite crossed with you either. hope for the best, you can leave to the shallowness I’d expect. Send your crys seaward for the only things that want to hear them are things which don’t understand what they mean. Ignorance, it flows with you, it's your aura, you are consumed by the inability to think for anyone but yourself. The above are, of course, merely suggestions, yours to take or to leave. Yours, ~Nina aka Ink Dragon

Well....

Thank you for the suggestion All of mine are like that I've never really been organized When it come to my writing, the form I think shows who I am. However I do like the way you did the lines, I have a hard time finding where to cut off.

Simplest way is to follow the S-V-O rule

an English sentence is usually complete when you have subject (a person who acts), verb (what the person does) and object (to whom it is done) together. Place and time can follow, but are not obligatory. This is, of course, only a rough guideline, but maybe you can work from there. It's much more reader-friendly when a poem comes in lines and stanzas instead of as a chunk of words, and it will definitely get you more reads. Your word choices and images look promising, the only thing you have to master is your mode of presentation. Yours, ~Nina
