~lost in the dark~
awash in melancholy colors
painted deep hues of blue
my nude body in fetal form curls
*
i've lost my soul
somewhere in the vast dark
the markers home tombstones
where vultures perch
tearing at my flesh
as search I for the right path
*
I'm led to the abyss
where i've vomited my thoughts
there little pieces of me float
I pick through the mire
collecting the broken bones of me
my skeletal being in there lies
*
hollow eye sockets
have witnessed my slow demise
decrepit and despicable
retracing my steps
sanctuary sought
for a voided voice
*
alone in the dark

I feel as if here I my self have found residency at a time of awakening. Awakening in its maiden voyage not of the serene, but that of shattering ones reality

Wow Crim! Firstly, that image goes perfectly with the imagery of your words. Secondly, so much dark despair painted on a charcoal canvas. Felt like I was lost in the dark too. Pen love~

The song of a soul lost and alone, becalmed on the sea of life. The voice though is of a detached observer - this is out of body...

I don't think you're alone deep underground.
"i've lost my soul
somewhere in the vast dark
the markers home tombstones
where vultures perch
tearing at my flesh
as search I for the right path"
A Crow might come to your rescue Crim. Fine work!

My Beautiful Brenda, the lines throughout paint such a vivid picture as only you can do...I get lost and float with you within lines like this...
"I'm led to the abyss
where i've vomited my thoughts
there little pieces of me float
I pick through the mire
collecting the broken bones of me
my skeletal being in there lies"
I love you so much!
xoxo Taryn
