The Ocean And The Darkness

The Ocean And The Darkness

A Poem by Mavis Bard
"

There exists an emptiness between the ocean and the darkness.

"

Who are you

Who am I

Who are we

That we decide

The life of our king

That dangles from a string

To preserve him alive

Despite his suffering

 

But the ocean of love

Sings a song from above

That descends unto our hearts like a dove

That embraces composure

And comforts with closure

And imprints on our hearts time’s exposure

But lately I have found

This darkness all around

Symptomatic of

A lack of love

 

There he will lay

On the edge of his throne

With silicone blue tubes

That he will bemoan

We fight all the demons

To reclaim his dying soul

But no matter the fight

The king still will grow old

 

Then the ocean of love

Sings a song from above

That descends unto his heart like a dove

That embraces composure

And comforts with closure

And imprints on his heart time’s exposure

But the emptiness spreads

With the darkness as its head

Leaving me numb and dry

As the king dies
