The Edge Of The World

The Edge Of The World

A Poem by Michael Lopez
"

translated memory.....circa 2000

"

Darkness,

being  alone,

cold,

and alive.

A few strands of light give way from a distance.

Hideing... 

no running from my thoughts

 the emptyness of the void inside of me.

Creating a world of darkness

 

and keeping my emotions in sorrow.

What is ever gonna happen to me when I am gone.

The cold air of winter 

reaches for me to take me away.

Why doesn't my life ever become full.

As the cold distant land of ice crystals,

white as far as the eye can see.

I Venture onward

my uknown destiny has yet to reveal itself.

This land is barren of life.

I am here,

standing alone.

Time is still,

the movements have stopped.

My laughter is gone,

my love is nowhere near.

My understanding confusion

losing myself to this world.

Never knowing myself,

my life changes so fast.

Can I find my way,

while entagled in my thoughts.

that The fear is keeping me here.

so My life crashes down,

and crumbles in my hands,

its not so easy to keep maintaining your life. 

My life is coming close to its end.

Time is ticking as slow as it can,

taunting me

I close my eyes.

To shut out the world around me.

Can I ever let it go,

my mind is never on my side.

Never ever am I aloud to wonder,

in my own amazement,

I comply with disbeleif.

Standing on the edge of the world
