Loathing the darkness of a moonless night

My thoughts become my enemy
mocking me with sinister words of doubt

Ripping my heart into fragmented pieces
that even God can't repair.

The sounds of night shouting with angry
animosities and vulgar insinuations.

How achingly alone... does it feel to lie awake for hours staring, yet not seeing, awake, yet....

In a dream as it were...

Rushing me to the precipice to cruelly throw
me to the ravenous lions.

My heart beating a tattoo into my chest...

O' Where are you 'Good Knight'?
Come now..
Pull me out of this mire and rescue me
from myself.




Poetry is:
Passion, imagination and intellect running together.

Aloha with warmest regards, Cheryl Stewart Koomoa

it takes guts to ask for help in this kind of darkness...
admirable guts
good read here.

it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown

A wallow can be good now and again. Deliciously.

Wow. Another soul haunted in the hours of darkness. Great write.

There are a million messages,
in a million bottles,
you just have to know
which one to pull out of the ocean.
