No More...A Poem by DJA need to express emotions after receiving some bad news in hospital yesterdayWait… Wait… Wait…
Silent and somber, he lies in wait of medical
results Awaiting the white coat with whom he consults Fear of answers, makes his body tremble Filled with questions, as the doctors all assemble
Wait… Wait… Wait…
His thoughts trail off, escaping from his bed His body lies stagnant, though his mind has fled Pale blue sheets a soft reminder of the sky Faint echoes of steps, as people pass him by
Wait… Wait… Wait…
Thoughts of his loved ones fill his heart Even though for now, they are far apart He hopes to go home and see them all soon To escape the dreary, pristine hospital room
Wait… Wait… Wait…
Cold reality, a distraction needed… The dragon’s fiery breath interceded Burning, blazing inferno of astonishing fire As red explodes, engulfing the sky a sight to
admire
Wait… Wait… Wait…
Clatter and clank of trolleys out in the hallway Feeding the sick, keeping hunger at bay Nurses rushing to help, with hearts so kind To every patient that they are assigned
Wait… Wait… Wait…
White walls, a restriction from the beauty outside Where the dragons red breath and darkness collide Black silently steals the illuminating light of
the day Plunging into darkness as the days images fade
Wait… Wait… No more
As the doctor creeks open the door Heavy footsteps pound the hard, cold floor He silently sits next to the metal framed bed And starts to shake his already balding head
No more… No more… No more…
Breath… constricted, under arrest As he awaits the results of his test “I’m sorry son, the tumor has grown That is what the MRI has shown”
No more… No more… No more…
Wait… no more, the answer is here Inside he burns with impending fear “I think it’s time, another round of chemo is due” Heart drops at the thought of what he has to get
through
No more… No more… No more…
He sits, contemplation resting solemnly on his
face He had his hopes up, thought he was winning the
race He tells his love, his closest friend “Don’t worry baby, it’s is not the end”
No more… No more… No more…
Fear consumes him, somewhere in the dark abyss His love, worried, a tender kiss parts from her
lips Forced courage spreads across his expression Two souls understand, a silent confession
No more… No more… Please…
Both desire the war to be over Until that day, together they will fight on On his chest her head gently lay As he survives to fight another day
Please… Please… End this… © 2013 DJAuthor's Note
