He sits quietly,
sickly glow of monitor,
casting face in death's radiance,
wondering how he will survive.
Her death was well deserved
and long time in coming,
evil demon of lust and greed,
who passing from this coil,
will give life to this heart.
He places fingers on keys,
to begin his life anew,
painting portraits in rhyme,
sculpting statues in prose.
the very life's blood again,
that once made him a man,
but which she stole violently.
He taps the squares of the muse,
watching verse flow before him,
feeling the power of creation,
in his abiltiy to pen joy.
Somewhere, in labrynth of thought,
he senses her soul stir,
the soul of doubt and fear,
the soul of the mute, the numb.
He feels her seethe deep,
weak, not quite as dead,
as he had prayed for.
He races with poem,
trying to put down each line,
cause he understands,
with the certainty of the dead,
that she will come back to him.
for like sorrow, and the misty ocean,
all things shall return.

Wow! So vivid and true. It's not the most pleasent reality. But bad things and hard times always do return.

Darkness and sorrow, she will return to him tomorrow. If he feels hard enough he'll feel her. This was a great piece JP

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there IS to celebrate.

Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.
