Somewhere, between here and there

0 posted 2000-08-20 12:37 PM



Opportunity is knocking on your door,
But you’re lying on the floor,
Bruised up and sore.
Unconscious and …but you wanted more
You’ve given all you can,
but its not enough…

Broken teeth and bloody sheets,
Bear mute witness to horrible feats,
Beseeched to some new pleasures seek’d,
Misery seeps like rain to the desert’s soil,
For whom does your heart toil?

Dreams shatter like bones under the hammer,
Doubt infects you like a disease with no cure,
The voices whisper your name, of this you are sure,
Some of them laugh, others scream,
Buzzing insanity leaks into your frail mind,
Darkness encompasses you thoughts,

Even oblivion’s comfort denies you,
The sun becomes black, the stars bleed,
Words cut like some rusted blade,
Your heart beats once more,
You breathe your final time,

Death finger’s like ice upon your bare skin,
Caressing your sullen soul, or what may remain,
You scream once more, then silence complete,
Like the burial shroud so spread over your empty form.

This one really doesn't have a title, the one in the subject line is a placeholder, i don't think this one will ever have a title.

Such a strong piece, with lots of feeling. This was a very interesting poem. The title is what got my attention. Well done with the visuals as well.

Fetch me another plaything,
this one seems to have broken!
