Life's Black Abyss

Captured in life
Manacled in chains
Is living easy
Without any pains

One can sit
Day by day
Pondering in hope
It goes away

Ones thoughts travel
To distant places
Meandering in time
As strife retraces

Full moons grace
White doves appear
My ledge awaits
Near and near

Windows are stared
Their black abyss
Draws weak souls
A final kiss

Excellent write James, it's dark but it has such beauty also, particularly the last two stanzas...the last one is just amazing, almost hypnotic ~ Sharon
