Pain, black shadow, was never an intention, The reclusive sun doth hide, fearful of intervention. Took thee shelter in this abode from its caliginous night, But this be a haven not, for it quivers with fright. Ghost and spirits of past take their refuge within, Plague the conscience, collectively prick the skin. This asylum's foundation doth quiver and quake, It's occupants scurry, leaving rubble in its wake. From the ruins rises smoke, carried on angel's breath An acrid odor remains, the fragrance of emotion's death. Left in wreckage, ideals lay dumb, frigid and dashed Ashes settle in place of optimism sublimely slashed. Apprehension and fear overrun the remains like a weed The phantom apparitions return, oh so eager to feed. But hark, look, what may this be that's growing in ruin's till? Tis hope, germinating within, a seedling that sprouts still |

This was weird, but really good. It made me think.  I'm not sure about a title. Maybe, "Asylum's Foundation" ?keep up the good work! : (:***Stephani***:) "A true friend will always stay a friend whether or not you feel as though the friendship or relationship is about to end." |

Steph - Thanks for the reply, and I'm glad it made you think! :.) Mistikman - <blush> Thanks for the compliments. I sincerely think that my work pales in comparison to that of the other members of the forum (yourself included). :.) Did either of you catch the metaphor of the "asylum"? Perhaps I made it too convoluted.... lol. Oh well, thanks again! Vreni |
