The Dark
kaleidoscope fear
in shades
of red, grey & black
turn inside me
causes me to bleed
caustic thoughts
that fall on my mind
the colors tumble
& i'm left with dread
fear has left me
in a state of despair
as I keen
with wails unheard
the darkness
has taken me into its grip
no drink can quell
what's eating me alive
sleep a temporary escape
a thick fog of depression
covers my landscapes
so dense I can't see
the suns of tomorrow
as I slip sideways
in my thinking
I reach for poetry
to steady me
the words I try to stuff in a box
are made of wax
when the heat is on
they melt & drip away
I can't contain them
these words that mock
talk back & slap me in the face
I don't know where I'm headed
this is a dead end

My Beautiful Brenda...I shall echo my brothers above me (ain't that one helluva thought? ;) - I couldn't resist...lol) never a dead end...each write you scribe only adds another section to the road you are traveling and will continue to travel for a long time to come...twists and turns...lefts made when perhaps they should've been rights and vice versa...an old saying...the road you are on will always take you HOME...
I love you madly, deeply my love!
With all my love - Taryn xoxo
