Poem Title:
Poem
I felt it brush my face in the chill morning breeze, I heard it's whisper in the silent conversations, I saw it in every strangers blank desperate face, I walked in it down the road and faced it round every bend, I awoke in utter oil blackness with it screaming, Your sobs and retches pulled something demonic from deep, I stumbled in a haze stinking of fear knowing in my ignorance, You rushed past me brushing onto me your darkness, I looked wildly around spotting your memory on the table, I peeked gasping in a silent horror; beginning to pray, You had gone in that run-away, one way car, I was praying constantly as I rang out warning bells for help, You were hurtling towards the end, stopping now and then to make sure, I finally reached a fellow warrior more battle hardened than I, I was most earnest with every word I spilled, You were stuck looking at a plastic bright past, I was praying that you would allow a true, beautiful future, You had seen love turned to twisted ends with bitter roots, I was then completely selfish; wondering what if he does end, It had the strongest hold over you blinding eyes: death, It had been sapping you longing for that final feast: death It had swirled about my head and I had been lost: death It now sought ultimate destruction, it had it's prize in sight: death It was thwarted by Grace, it was cast down by love: death
