Black.
I feel the black.
I feel darkness all around me
Enclosing me, stifling me
Hot breath of pending death
The spectres return to haunt
With visions that tease and taunt
I feel like crying,
Or laughing like a child
With a frown,
I hang my head down
And know not whether
I’m coming or going
My senses take leave
Yet somehow I see forever
And it is grey
Grey as today
I’ve reached the point in life
Where it is a longer way back
Than where I am going
But I am going;
It is the one thing
I am sure of

JML,
  Great poetry on a subject that receives
undeserving attention.  I think we need to consider this facet of everyday life and, then, maybe obtain more respect and personal understanding of it.

deep and dark...just like I like...

I’ve reached the point in life
Where it is a longer way back
Than where I am going
But I am going;
It is the one thing
I am sure of...

wisdom...stalking you still jm

Blackness surrounds you, open your eyes, and let the light shine on your soul, let the life take control, and maybe one day it will take you were you want to go, cuz the day isnt grey, go out and play, like the child with a grin on his face, and take life like a child with a slow pace, like a child love life for what you do not see, the hate and all the complexities     Bring me more words, I like the way you think.  Much love, One love PEACE
