Depth of the Darkness Where I am Unknown even to me The dizziness Dis-orientations linger here or Maybe there I am not quite sure Other than I have drowned Emptiness overcomes even The sadness Eyelids, do I have them? Emptiness you see is a blindness Seeping into the nether lands of my heart No longer caring Or daring Hidden in the darkness At all the staring BANG Thunder Struck by a fantasy Off I go, on the expressways of tears Lights bright, then darkness Darkness then bright lights I am sitting now In someone's Den, maybe mine? Caressing, holding Yet............... There I am so silent Alive? SMILING I am smiling right into a smile A smile stares back Filled with a warmth Never before felt In this lifetime or the ones before Seconds become minutes Become hours No words are spoken There exists but a tenderness Of thoughts Passing from me to the smiling one From her to me Fear of breaking the spell Is this the full accounting of it all? Have the gods balanced the books? Of all things I expose to her The debits and credits Why I have no idea But she is smiling, always smiling I see colors Plump wonderful huggable colors I never saw before My oh such wonderful thoughts Slowly, both so fearful Memories entwined with pains shared Outstretched arms reaching Radiant, solar is her smile Angelic in an earthly way A smile of all things Filled with a bouquet of love In eyes that have voices Skies so clear Filling with clouds Floating There I am Back into the night Of eternal darkness As I toss the key to all in the wind Having been robbed of all emotions In a haze of nothingness There is still a little pain And a seed of hope As the soul rots a little more Into the sands Lacking passion Is humanities only crime

I translated in french... this is not very easy, but I think I approache the real meaning of your creation--- ( 1rst part ) Où je suis Inconnu même pour moi Le vertige subsiste en étant désorienté ou Peut-être ici je ne suis pas tout à fait sûr d'être autre qu'ayant été noyé par un vide qui surmonte même la tristesse Des paupières, est-ce que j'en ai? Le vide vous voyez est un aveuglement Suintant dans les terres les plus profondes de mon cœur Pas plus attentionné Ou audacieux ...

4th--- oh , de telles merveilleuses pensées Lentement, à la fois si effrayantes Souvenirs entrelacés avec douleurs partagées m'atteignant les bras tendus Son sourire est solaire et rayonnant Angelique à la manière terrestre Un sourire de toutes choses Rempli d'un bouquet d'amour Dans les yeux qui ont comme des voix de ciels si clairs Remplis avec des nuages Flottant Me voilà De retour dans la nuit De l'obscurité éternelle Comme je jette la clé de l'ensemble dans le vent Après avoir été dépouillé de toutes les émotions Dans une brume du néant Il y a encore un peu de douleur Et une graine d'espoir Comme l'âme pourrit un peu plus Dans les sables le manque de passion Est le seul crime de l'humanité .

3rd part SOURIANT Je souris directement dans un sourire Un sourire qui regarde en arrière Rempli avec une chaleur Jamais ressentie auparavant Dans cette vie ou celles d'avant les secondes deviennent minutes deviennent des heures Aucun mot n'est prononcé Ils existent, mais dans une tendresse des pensées Passant de moi à un sourire D'elle à moi La peur de rompre le charme Est-ce le total de tout cela? Les dieux ont-ils équilibré les livres? De toutes les choses que je lui expose Ce qu'elle me donne ou que je lui donne Pourquoi n'en ai-je aucune idée Mais elle sourit, toujours souriante Je vois des couleurs rebondies de merveilleuses couleurs douces Que je n'ai jamais vu avant

2nd part --- Caché dans l'obscurité À tout les regards COUP Tonnerre Frappé par un fantasme je vais sortir , sur les autoroutes de larmes des lumières brillantes, puis l'obscurité Ténèbres ,puis les éclairages lumineux Je suis assis maintenant Y a-t-il quelqu'un dans cet antre, peut-être la mienne? Caressant, me tenant Encore............... Là, je suis tellement silencieux Vivant? SOURIANT

You know, Arthur, some of us have a lot of passion...especially poets...and I think you are one too. That is why you get depressed because you are passionate about whatever it is that you are missing. If that weren't true you would not feel the loss so deeply...which can lead to depression. But, chin up...you never know what is just around the corner.
