A dark picture

A Poem by SleeplessVolcano



His happy pills failed
Dark thoughts whirlpooled his canvas -
Grays, black, triumphant.

Living in an illusion to run from reality, is a dark hole sucking all the light you still have. I really love short poems that are simple, direct and full of meaning, and this poem is one of them. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Insight......despite the darkness, poets can conjure up a spark or two of light, right? ;)
