Figurativly disfiguredA Poem by MercelusOur experience in life will all affect us differently, leaving traces of the lessons learned and the times we lost and found ourselves. Sometimes in finding ourselves we lose everything else
In the sunlight,
All that you are seems to fade, But in the subtle moonlight, Just before my eyes clasp shut its rays reveal the brand you left upon my skin A constant reminder Driving me deeper into my own madness Or perhaps its just sadness, meaningless as it may be It is all i will ever know Oh, darling wont you come caress my soul!
