Another black sunrise, Another day when the wind does moan, Another day chasing lost dreams, Another day all alone. Beastly repititive reality, A bitter soul to match the bitter winter's day, A heinous stab at this thing called life, Will it ever be any other way? No bright light on this day, No highlights to look forward to, Seems this is the chosen path, For there is nothing I can do. I'm merely a derelict floating along, No uplifting rush to fill this heart with song, Shipwrecked on the shores of life, Merely a wrecked hull that shows past strife. My world a ruined city, Decay and defeat, the evidence all round, This downfall and failure mine alone, The moaning wind the only sound. Annihilation of thy former self, Devestation's all that's left, Termination a possible salvation, Extinction a possible relief. |

Isis, this is one of your best (in my opinion  ). Oppressive and atmospheric. Really a great read. P.s. I hope you're ok!? Lotharingia "For God's sake, he's a poet. Poets are meant to feel miserable. Otherwise, what the hell are they here for? What are they going to write about?" Tom Holland |

You've been reading my mind isis, or horrorscope, or something! I related to this 100%. It's funny how just seeing that someone else feels the same way helps. I found this poem VERY calming... Allan |

ouch Isis, Beastly repititive reality, A bitter soul to match the bitter winter's day, A heinous stab at this thing called life, Will it ever be any other way? I'm merely a derelict floating along, No uplifting rush to fill this heart with song, Shipwrecked on the shores of life, Merely a wrecked hull that shows past strife. My world a ruined city, Decay and defeat, the evidence all round, This downfall and failure mine alone, The moaning wind the only sound. wow amazing images though I believe there will be light ahead. I hope things get better take care. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |

Strange why everyone makes the mistake of attributing the poem to the personal condition or experience of the poet! I think this is very imaginative and reflects a train of thought not intrinsic at least to Isis - the writer - and that makes it all the more creditable. Deepak Menon |

Well, Deepak beat me to it. Thought your poem excellent and representative of us all from time to time. Life be not God's greatest gift. Of what worth be life without the capability to love? |

Wonderful Isis. . . It can get a bit mind numbing can't it? That's why we have to stretch the mind from time to time. . . let it take us on flights of fancy. . . it helps. . . Superb poem. . . ------------------------------------------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Magnifique! What a sad, hauntingly sad picture you paint with your words (and you do it so well!) I thoroughly enjoyed this. "Suicides have already betrayed the body. Still born, they don't always die, bu dazzled, they can't forget a drug so sweet that even children would |
