I live forever
and have nothing
to live for;
all that I deemed precious
has been lost
in this journey,
this desire
to explore the darkness
that surrounds me.

Night and sleep
chase each other
in an endless orbit
of despair
circling my heart,
that fills my dreams
with shadows
while my waking
is surrounded
by nightmares
too vivid to be true.

Restlessness pecks
at me as I wander
labyrinthine pathways
shaded by
night and sorrow
while the
timelessness
of the moon
laughs in
hollow mockery.

The circadian rhythms
that monitor
the heartbeats of my
existence have
disappeared
in the twilight of eternity
while the love that
called me to this
has degenerated
to dust and ash.

Walking, ever walking,
through the corridors
of time that have no end;
I beg for release
and the echo of
my plea rebounds
from the walls
in doppelganger
mimicry;
while I live forever
and pray for
the world to cease

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown

Lynne:

God this is brilliant . . .

The circadian rhythms
that monitor
the heartbeats of my
existence

Amazing writing and sadly, I do know this beast as well

MyMyMyMzKethry~
This IS outstanding !!!!!

'Night and sleep
chase each other
in an endless orbit'

A thought of the word 'labrynith' came to me before I even opened this ... you sent me that thought ???? I think it must be so~

I will see if it wants to talk to me~
Love you gal~

Kethry...Very well expressed verse. My very favorite part of this poem is this:

The circadian rhythms
that monitor
the heartbeats of my
existence have
disappeared
in the twilight of eternity
while the love that
called me to this
has degenerated
to dust and ash.

Wonderful imagery throughout; but especially here. ***Ivy Rose

What a talented writer you are, Lynne.
I love to read your work....I wish I could write
like you do. It's beautiful.

I read this and I think thusly.. "I am supposed to be able to write.. I am supposed to be able to write".... so why is it that I cannot think of the words to tell you how marvelous this is or the immensity of the feelings it inspired..

It simply leaves me.. intensely emotional but speechless..

I know what you mean, Keth. I feel the same after eating Vegemite, too!
