In the semi-darkness, she bears the silence
she has plunged herself into,
wishing she can evaporate and melt
into the shadows poised to swallow her.

She weeps without tears
in the prison of her own head,
She, a phantom figure, ghostlike and
shrouded in half-light.

She pushes back memories
that would not be dismissed,
though she slams the shutters of her mind,
and retires into her own private space.

She finds no solace in the cold lordly gloom,
her demons crowned with inordinate beauty,
consecrated with the dignity of her attention.

If only she could hurt her body,
then she would not notice
the coming apart of her soul.

But memory had become regent
and the keepsake of nightmare.
Perhaps within her stillness and solitude
her spirit would begin to heal itself.

A tiny beam of light in a aria of darkness. It's all about holding on. Good poem.

Wonderful, Wonderful.

An incredible poem.

~Should the truth be so buried
in the endless cemetery of broken dreams?~
