Silence... He sits alone in a darkened room Contemplating loves lost, love gained Emotions welling up inside So many, not one can be named Grasping at a reality he once knew But it slips through his fingers like grains of sand The sweetness once like rich wine to the tongue Has lost all taste, utterly bland Then through the darkness comes a light A silent glimmering angel of hope With her lips and tender words She shows his aching heart hoe to cope The vial of melancholy Turned to a tumbler of joy Elation fills his wanting heart Making him giddy as a little boy Paradise finds it's way Into the room where despair lay Like a cloak o'er everything bright Now that's all turned from night to day Sun shining overhead Ne'er to be eclipsed As life, crimson, red and pure Is drawn from his angel's lips Then in a flash all is gone The room is dark once more The epiphany that he's alone Knocks him to the floor Lost again his feeble hands Cover his tear-streaked face He cries out but no one hears How he lists for her embrace He takes a shot of misery Along with a dose of loss Each tear cried releases an emotion He had hoped was lost He returns to his chair And sits in that darkened room Does anyone really care Or is this poor sooul doomed? Silence... Thomas |

"He takes a shot of misery Along with a dose of loss Each tear cried releases an emotion He had hoped was lost" Wow... this is powerful writing. I just hope that this isn't about you. If it is, just know that through the darkness is the brightest light.

I really liked this poem. It was very dark and depressing (women have that effect on you guys, I guess). It was very powerful. I'm going right now to look for more stuff you've written! Good piece! |

Thomas, your writing never ceases to amaze me. It just seems like in every thing I read of yours I find myself saying, "ya, I've been there, I know exactly what that means." Not only that but your venacular, and rhetoric are astounding. Keep me entertained man.... jason |
