Feeling Cold Wind Gauge Every Footfall

Feeling Cold Wind Gauge Every Footfall As I ran across the smooth gleaming ice beating heart a true miracle thus felt would a true love in life serve to suffice or drown me in waters where then ice melts? Feeling cold wind gauge every footfall spirit cried, bow thee to sweet romance life oft is chasing that high bouncing ball and risking it all on a gambling chance! Safe upon firm land and sought after shore soul rejoiced with deep sigh of relief reminding me of my dark lust for more and how I oft abandoned true belief! Now I look back at, waters once flowing. Realize most of life, was spent not knowing! R.J. Lindley, November 24th, 1979 Sonnet, ( Ten years spent in deep grieving ) Note: Days of youth, spent fighting the onslaught of world's savage blows and Fate's ticking clock.

Dark poetry and soul searching verses are at the heart of poetry, as it represents the truth of humanity as a failed, fallen and imperfect creature.. One so truly appreciates the Light if they know of the Dark and the tragic sorrows it encompasses.
