Poem

I sought a theme but it was in vain . . . 
   so, I let my MUSE take me by the hand to this place
       that I will tell you with a  s i g h -

oh heart, oh troubled, shattered heart-
     I recall the sweet girl, who was me in yesterdays
  we lived in a beautiful Victorian house on a shady street
and it was full of love every single day
            but then . . . 
my happiness was  d r o w n e d  in reality-

oh dripping,
          dripping,
               dripping
                           death, one by one
                               my beloved left upon a fading gleam
to dwell with the birds and their sleepy songs
     echoing among the dark and deep green and shadows
                                            of the rows and rows of tombs-

and I was left to dream . . .
      and dream of memories and loving scenes
                locked in the corridors of my mind behind a wall, that
I built one brick at a time until it is a  MASSIVE  fortress . . .

will I accept my slow  d e c a y  or rise in pride
and break down this wall of mine
                                    remove my mask of sorrow

I stagger terrified . . . 
      my heart beating wildly in my chest
                                      then suddenly my wings unfold
           in feathery glory . . . .

and here I am-
