Darkness
Darkness is a river,
It carries me away.
Lost in isolation,
I watch my soul decay.
Teased by a subtle numbness,
The brain gives silent scream
Over the unconscious border
Of reality and dream.
Stars in twilight twinkle
Across the witless skies.
The hands of heaven sprinkle
Seeds of hope before blind eyes.
Till the sun, in relished power,
Hides all in the hell of day,
And glory rises in shadows of
Illusion and disarray.
Ambiguity corrupts the masses,
Subdues our every thought.
Lifeless veins are empty
In corpses that dare not rot.
Driven on by fear, by hopelessness,
And sheltered by the past,
We grip life through dead memories
And force the love to last.
Till sorrow overcomes us
In clouds of obscurity…
Till tomorrow has vanished
With innocence and purity.
Vanity's proclamation,
Come like the clarion of Hate:
All that's left is death,
And still you have to wait.
Emptiness, an aching chasm,
Unadorned to Time—
The pining of the spirit
To an unrecognized chime.
The decrepit embrace of Destiny,
Passion, an uncried tear…
A droplet of water, a river run still—
The darkness that holds me here.

"The decrepit embrace of Destiny,
Passion, an uncried tear…

They were all out of happy ending when I was at the store earlier hon... not my day I guess, still doesn't appear to be one in sight. There were a few lines in there I'd thought you'd appreciate. Old old old poem though, love... prePiP days.
Loves u too

Wow, this is breathtaking. I've just now come across your page, but I am grateful that I did! I personally have drifted away from rhyme, but you really capture the true beauty of it. Lovely work.
