Stephen Kilmer Poet Free verse

Alone In Darkness

I sit alone in darkness
Dripping blood
Like midnight rain
So dark I think 
This can’t be real
The prostitutes are shivering
Leaning on the bar
They look and turn away
I call their names out softly
But soon they turn to clay
My mind upon the bible
As my dreams begin to decay
In midnight dreams I am trapped
And you’re so far away
I grasp the cross upon my chest
And put it to my lips
A final kiss before I go
A wish upon your soul
Save me now
And I’ll be true
Please don’t damn my soul

Laura Breidenthal August 7, 2013 at 7:01 PM It's good to turn to God when enshrouded in darkness. He will see you through and through. A very interesting piece you have composed. Always, Laura Stephen Kilmer August 7, 2013 at 7:06 PM I am slowly turning towards the light. I need to find faith but it's hard to find the truth. Kilmer
