tormented

Tormented

Shimmering whispers riding on the wind

and a laboured breathe for I have sinned

Light a candle in the darkened room

to show me the way from this gloom and doom

Stolen kisses from a lover’s mouth

Show me now, which way is out?

Children’s laughter and a baby’s cry

Please, no God I don’t want to die.

Golden leaves on the ground do scatter

Autumn winds carry them to where, Does it matter?

Life on earth is oh so short

in Heaven on high soon, no choice, one’s to report.

Ghosts of a long time past have come to haunt

floating hither and tither in my minds eye,

flashings of life only to flaunt.

Swallowed up, gone by the yesterday!

Goodbye, my loves, family and friends

so many words left dormant and unsaid

May this world show you love and peace

For now I go, my life has outrun it’s lease.
