"the nightmare"
@Uootem
life's journey
once taken through heaven's streets
now a nightmare,
that once upon a time lost...
could hell be far distant?
a place filled with
darkened corners
where memory's shadows inhabit
an unfurnished room
whitewashed with the absence
of illumination of a youthful love...
once pleasant emotions
thrashing at my soul tainted remorse in my heart
confront the rest of my days.
cold drops of tears
aroused with the pain of loss
escape my eyes and
cascade in a plunging to earth.
dark and ever-changing storm clouds
a strange skyscape
never envisioned before.
a yearning within my heart
never invited... never anticipated...
haunted by realities
too hostile... too coldhearted
to smile upon me.
a pure white page in hand
I gaze into its blandness...
oh, how many times before
this torment of needing to write
to relieve the burning
of words trying to escape this present day world
with utterings of emotion
first one line... and the next...
a thousand times repeated
in the coldness of day
in conflict
with a warmth in my heart I feel (at most) sated halfway between,
writing of the nothing that remains..
as I step a little closer
to that which was everything.
