Fade to Black By Richard Maxfield 9-15-2000 In the distant tomorrows Reflections of the past Burn my eyes to heart Blinding my soul Speak in silence deaf Eyes expose the truth Of so much unsaid Yet denying the certainty Searching for what is real In the land of make believe Where even lies become truth And truth escapes me Playing the game That’s no game I stumble through life Finding light in darkness Handprints upon my soul Become footprints on my heart When what can’t be bought Is sold, for pennies on the dollar So where next to go From confusion to realty From lies to realization Or fade to black |

Richard, excellently done. It evoked so many images. Write on Kethry Religion is for people frightened about going to hell - Spirituality is for people who have been there. Anon. |

Richard, an intense read, some wonderful images especially loved the verse; Handprints upon my soul Become footprints on my heart When what can’t be bought Is sold, for pennies on the dollar "an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women". Patti Smith |

Wow - powerful words with effective haunting images. The reader feels your pain, as I know I surely did. I also loved the lines "handprints upon my soul, become footprints on my heart." The ending was very strong Melissa The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams |
