Code Sad Mode

Journey Journal Page CODE SAD MODE By Leon Enriquez My heart knows how love hurts Blush of wild fling casts dirt By day sad dreary hues By night pain comes on cue My soul feels turmoil brief As sadness marks high grief My distress gropes and sways Now I feel slow time slay My pain seeps through my veins I feel loss pique disdain Upon my bed I feel Fatigue as hurts distills ~~~~~~~~~ My tale of anguish drains Cold blaze burns all in vain Yet pain grounds me right here A slave as fear endears My days are spent most sad My heavy heart now mad Hides in dark empty feel As burdens cluster spill My night stains dreary dwell Beyond lost charms that tell Love is a bloated gist Beyond the broken list ~~~~~~~~~ My quest greets a sad mode Blush of unease stains code The choking knot binds pain A hangman’s rope now drains My deluge of sadness Chokes a certain madness I try my best to run Yet my pain exults pun My touch and feel grinds rut Unveils unease that cuts Abide with bloody thaw Of anxious feelings raw ~~~~~~~~~ My madness feels extreme Pain gathers rancid cream Slice of misadventure As hurts bleed odd censure My eyes sense dark night groom Loss of light in this room I sit with dark shadows As odd feelings swallow My late trip gains a grip As melancholy rips Dismay whips the sad tale Stern defiance thus prevails ~~~~~~~~~ My plight decrees sad flight Blind afterglow put right If only I can see The way things now can be My way to face this strife To simply live this life Through a winding journey That mellows ecstasy My poise of story line A pickle in life’s brine To find the rainbow here In tints that arouse cheer ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 27 February 2024 Singapore
