Nemesis

Nemesis



    Throbbing pain, relentless, seep inside the marrow of my being, smirking

    Demonic in its intent to erode, and turn each bone frail then none remain 

    A heart weakened, desperately seek solace, the blind reaching out in vain

    Fragmented shadow lurks without sound, red unforgiving eyes, menacing!




                      ***An invisible foe, is the toughest to subdue ***

                                                  --by author--

I hope this isn't your experience, Anselmo. Powerful poem and the quote were outstanding. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Thanks for your concern Bill, so far, my life's challenges have not risen to this poem's level yet, and I hope it stays that way. Lol. I'm glad you liked the quote too...ab

A heart- rending, soul piercing write as if there is much pain hardened inside. 'Red unforgiving eyes' suggest much ! Intensely powerful, Anselmo
