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.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

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
