SUNSHINE OF POSSIBILITY

dark, with hope

Her poetic words undermine his being

his strident lament reaches to the quarter moon

pinned to agony with no revenge

unrevealed secrets on the horizon

shadows of his former self

before he met her

those pleasing love poems

seem like centuries ago

 

He refuses to inhale her poetic wrath

yet it seeps into his soul

causing writer’s block to shroud him

in a prison of dark thoughts

 

After a long sleep

he sees a crack of light reflect on the ceiling

a hidden gem

perhaps a sunshine of possibility

to open the door for future poems

of nature, of love, of life

it sure doesn't sound like this relationship is rhyming but i guess there's always hope for a new verse. we never know when inspiration will dawn ... :)

[Betty Hermelee]

This is very true, but getting rid of her may inspire!!!

I hope the the shadow of light will open his eyes to a more suitable friend. one that will stimulate his poetic/artistic inner self

Perhaps they will stimulate /create some give and take of ideas

Thank you for your insightful review!

Has the sound of a tormented artist. Such often fall into unhealthy relationships. I think he needs to break this one off, because it's probably not going to get any better.
