Echoes of Misery

I repeat myself over and over An endless string of blunder--- Knotted and tied with my affliction Ending nowhere but in damnation Echoes bouncing on walls and pillars While I’m locked under cellars--- My words falling with a clatter Echoes of bone-chilling isolation Over and over My voice travels in crevices of the river Slowly drowning in water I can see my reflection A figure of distortion--- Falling deeper and deeper Over and over.

Very harrowing, yet powerful poem, Ady. The laser focus of self-awareness is on full display in this gem of a poetic offering. Absolutely stunning poem, full of self-truth and damning pathos. Love this poem very much. Happy New Year. Love and peace to you. Romantic Warrior
