Poem Title:
Poem
I sit in stillness framed by glass the world outside dances sunlight spills like golden honey. yet within these walls I stay. regret coils..... around me tight as a noose lurking in shadows. I breathe in inhaling the vastness of the ocean's essence. I can feel it my heart beats..... steady as stone. I glance out and see islands shimmering like dreams….. clouds lazily drift by. like ghostly albatrosses. heavy with the mental wobbling weight of untold excruciating hours spent in despair. I can hear waves hum their foaming forgotten lullabies. spilling secrets from the depths..... beneath the starlit sky I sail on gliding over waveless waters alone in the stillness of the night. the salt air mingles with my thoughts hope burns a flicker caught in the tempest howl distant as fires beyond the glass a pleading prayer goes unanswered. I gaze at the world, so alive..... filled with laughter and song. joy drifts in like soft misty mist but raw regret tugs at my heart. snowflakes fall quietly..... silence calls. then Darkness Descends. Draping the earth in it’s shadowy spell. Dancing, Drumming, Devouring. hope's last flicker Dies….. echoes of a Dying breath chaos reigns supreme. I feel frozen in this shattered world where cracked glass bites into my dreams. I’m helpless. I am a silent witness to a dying light. I find myself fractured like just like the life I let slip away. I’m the voyeur of lost tomorrows. their cost carved deep into the marrow of my soul a sentencing weight I’ll carry forever.
