From the Saddest Depths of Bitter Despair

From The Saddest Depths Of Bitter Despair Within this heart love born once beloved now scorn fills each little crevice life seems out of service bitter cold turns the wind dark sets its pains to send Alas! Loneliness reaps broken shards into heaps while moonlight will not shine on these blues I now dine and the aches seem endless here, I am now friendless dark on this soul assails nobody hears my wails In this chasm I soft weep So, so cold, dark and deep Within this heart love born. Once beloved, now scorn. R.J. Lindley, Dark rhyme ( From, In for a penny, in for a pound )

No, my friend ... not friendless and alone, FAR from it! Wonderful write that has a heartbreaking beauty, but I pray you did not linger in this spot too long ... it is an altered reality, not the sunny shards that you deserve. Blessings!

“”On these blues, I now dine! “When you feel deeply, this is what happens. Shallow people cannot relate to this. The world is full of them. They are plastic people. We grow stronger, all the time Terrific poem and a Fav, Pangie.
