My Only Friend (the voice inside my head)A Poem by Richard Helbert
the ocean air
cool relief in an otherwise hellish inferno i thought back to a simpler time when days and days could pass without any thoughts of doom i looked out and up at the bright fullness of the moon and it made me think of a woman soft and supple and radiaiting a soft but powerful light the waves crashed in a symphony of noise beautiful and mysterious like a foreign tongue on the lips of an exotic girl the air thick with humidity had my body drenched with sweat what a god forsaken land why was i here to find out the secrets of life to hear words unheard in a thousand years i thought of the time when she was mine and i was hers and life was still something that amazed me looking forward to each new day more than the one before i would do anything to hear her laugh again it was the most beautiful sound i had ever heard or would ever hear again those days were gone replaced by this strange new world where there are no friends and the new day is met with utter dread for now i sit and think waiting for the sunrise and a brand new day a day that i hope will be my last that is the only dream I have left but alas this has been my dream since she went away and i have yet to be granted my wish i can only sit and wait to hear the voice speak to me as it tells me what to do where to go to escape © 2015 Richard HelbertReviews
