Beyond the darkness

 

 

 

 

Beyond the darkness

 

Shades of painted corners

face these inward fears

Now drenched in lost endeavors

and flat as the cornerstone of suffering

Caught within boundaries along wasting moments,

crying blanket feelings,

pounding on the walls of despair

 

“leaving fist prints like so many discarded roses”

 

Calling out to the endless deafness

“Time it does not heal,

scars merely cut deeper”, 

echoes among the tapered dreams

Fog engulfs the melody…slowly

chasing after poetic symphonies

playing in a westward direction

 

“horizontal compass points from this to that”

 

This weary hand trembles

violently as it reaches, pleads

Where the monochrome sun sets,

beyond the chosen horizon

in heart shaped vistas and opened arm landscapes

Trust in amber glowing beacons

wave banners of solitude

 

“free flowing fabric beckoning in rhythmic motions”

 

Forcing the stoic front door…open

Creaking hinges scream, your fears cup beneath your chest

Breathing in the stench of life

but lured by the fragrance of the future

Where sorrow drowns in cascade pools,

pain hides where it can not be found

and he waits to lift you…beyond the darkness

 

 

“and you find you have wings, shimmering in this golden friendship”
