Hallucinations

Piercing rocks and twigs scar my naked toes

And all around me screams the silence and woes

Lifted from fear, driven by sorrow

Of gothic dreams and no tomorrow.

 

Whispers from the wind devour my soul,

I shiver with fright, I lose control

The full bright moon illuminates ahead,

As I lay beneath the sky with dread

 

A reflection obscures all truth I see

Consumed by the life in my sanity

Remorse and death shall take me there

To where the ashes of my shattered heart could bear

 

Beings of darkness I dare not define

Comparable to demons, damned, horrid, nay divine

Never shall they, nay feast on my soul

Never will they take what’s left of my all

 

Soon the hour of darkened times shall fall

The Holy One Divine will give His call

Dark or Light, we bow to His presence

The only light that will brighten the decadence.

Author's Note

Amidst dark vision and fantasies, faith is tested...

Wow! The depth to this piece is brilliant... Dark and full of mystery.

"A reflection obscures all truth I see
Consumed by the life in my sanity
Remorse and death shall take me there
To where the ashes of my shattered heart could bear"~ The heartache is felt. Well done!

Wow so amazing and filled with Gods light and spirit in this poem. Its so true. Only Gods light can truly shine through all of the demons and the darkness and the decadence.
