Death and Deep Sorrows, Cold Dark and All Alone

Death And Deep Sorrows, Cold Dark And All Alone Sorrows are dreams dying of thirst or apathy which is worse. Burnt and decayed, cast into pits misery in lost raving fits. Meadows dark brown and without Life humanity, with its strife. Life in shambles, nothing to hold freezing death, fingers icy cold. Without Hope, life is a nightmare each step brings another scare. Hands bound, mouth gagged to be sure terminal darkness with no cure. Seeking that one sliver of Light. For relief from deep sorrow's blight. Robert J.

Your poem explores almost abysmal sorrow and the power of your words is such that we feel inescapably pulled downwards in an icy grip of darkness. It's beautifully done and reminded me of François Villon's poetry :) Amitiés

Sorrows are the dregs of regret. Sometimes I like to read a reality poem like yours and stir myself to seek that sliver of light.
