Clear day not one cloud marred infinite blue yet death perched on my shoulder like some angent of hell chilling me through despite the warmth I heard screaming loud and shrill in my heart, my mind from way down deep- some dark place rarely visited or even acknowledged... They'd touched it this day Demons streak across an otherwise undisturbed horizon while the masses move along as if tomorrow were forever forever... As elusive as the next minute, escapes my understanding I can only tremble from the cold awaiting the inevitable when it occurs to me I still have one wish just one, before the blue disappears into shades of grey and fades to black My one wish... to have it come true before the nothing envelopes me completely into it's folds and I disappear for all eternity My one wish: to be the me that existed before the miracle and curse of you before the trauma of giving trust to the undeserving before the murder of my soul, and the wrenching away of innocence... to remember beauty again before my body reflects the empty shell of my heart just one wish, the inner child begs, & outer shell cries just one, as the woman I am stands at the fork with indecision, knowledge, & the power, no matter how painfull the process, to grant herself just one wish... -Tier{Robin} 12/31/00 |

Thank you, Richard, this poem was written when I was suffering from a bout of depression. The poem pretty much sums up what I was feeling... -Tier{Robin} |

Robin, I understand so well. This stanza grabbed my heart especially "My one wish: to be the me that existed before the miracle and curse of you before the trauma of giving trust to the undeserving before the murder of my soul, and the wrenching away of innocence... to remember beauty again before my body reflects the empty shell of my heart" This was beautiful and sad. I hope your life will be full of the happiness that you deserve, in the New Year. Sandra |
