His mind wanders
through a sterile vaccume
of timeless regret
a prisoner
to the random impulses
irregular
spasmotic
in a dying network
of broken promises
defeated dreams
unfulfilled need
atrophy is slow
insidious
darkly efficient
progressing with
relentless resolve
driving the victim
into the black hole
of oblivion
mercy is a word
from another world
another time
another place
compassion exists
only in a dream
redemption is a fantasy
for fools
the light dims
sputters
in the cold reality
of truth


the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Human, my heart and soul be
That of a dragon.

Spine chilling coldness of the dark,
As we weep from our hearts.

Great writing.

Pegasus; Dark and haunting...but i've been in this place (there is redemption, i'm living proof) you have turned these deep feelings of sadness into a poetic masterpiece. ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

the dark can be a lonely place. . . some would take comfort there. . . but in that comfort, lies madness. . .

dark, and haunting. . . well done my friend. . .
