Life's Black Abyss

Captured in life Manacled in chains Is living easy Without any pains One can sit Day by day Pondering in hope It goes away Ones thoughts travel To distant places Meandering in time As strife retraces Full moons grace White doves appear My ledge awaits Near and near Windows are stared Their black abyss Draws weak souls A final kiss http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life-8.php

Excellent write James, it's dark but it has such beauty also, particularly the last two stanzas...the last one is just amazing, almost hypnotic ~ Sharon
