Lately I’m no
good,
at embracing
the light

I’m only here
to provide
shade
for my shadow

Following darkness
back,
into night

With blistered
back
of,
scarred regret

I’m just a tail
that wags
the dogma

Tripping over
lithe,
phantasm

Frank intense,
and gold
mirage

Ever blur
the eyes,
a days

Sand of sleep ,
buried deep,
all my fear
I wish,
to keep

Let my life,
soon belie
all the truth I do,
decry

I tried
to jump off
the face
of time

But her arms
they held,
me back

Swirling sect
ends
into weak

A few sure,
of
the past

To era is human
to knot is tie

The tether
of
accord

Buying bits
of slaughtered soul
are deals,
we ill
afford

Let the dirt
become my sky
as bone
now rests,
in piece

Let my songs
of sorrow
pay
the note,
of my release

Richy, I hope this is just a case of you having fun with many extremely clever plays of words and not that you are feeling the mood of the ambiance that runs through the poem.

Life is hard, and some days are harder! I hope things get better for you, Richy.

Your writing always has a unique twist and colorful flair.

Look at the bright side, it's all there in your poetry.

Thanks for the comments Lori, and the concern as well.. all is well here.. last year was a bad one, but im taking this new year in stride.. I never know what im going to write when I start each day.. I get a thought and soon that leads to a theme.. like Paul McCartney, I cant write silly love poems all the time right.. haha.. funny thing me and that Beatle share the same birth date
