killing time
          in my cocoon

killing time
          wanting you

saturated
          with your pain

drenched
          in your dark

past deeds of yesteryear
          delivered to you

by extension
          to me

a dangerous storm
          stinging

a whirlpool effect
          swallows up

chomping through
          our souls

casting aside
          dreams made only yesterday

you in your dark
          me in mine

we'll stand strong
          to see the light

I see an outstretched hand in your poem; the eye of the storm, where there is peace.  Very nice, Jerry

Like a waterfall of emotions that keeps one in place with the longing to move towards the light, where one can open the eyes again and breathe hope and love.

Beautifully rendered, dear Jerry!

Being in a time capsule could be like this: a coal mine of old memories buried, echoing in the dark, waiting for a breath of fresh air to stir the tired captive, free soul to move in sunlight and warmth again, to traverse love without the winds of hurricane.  We do learn to rise above the clouds...yes?  And the thing about coal is that it evolves gemstones...diamonds.  A thought provoking write, Jerry.  Let there be light!
