Listen to poem:

Segregated Shadows

Within the shadow of a broken heart,
Darkness decrees its penumbra of night…
Obscurity ovulates embryonic entrapment,
Where solitudes silence the seismic still…

Masquerading malevolence gives a chill,
Walking alone a fragile forlorn fragment…
Lonely landscapes of dreams despite,
Where sorrows surface and hopes depart…

Hide my disposable dehumanizing heart,
For the nightmares reign within the light…
The loneliness lingers upon the lions’ lament,
And the teratogenic tears of tomorrow refill…

Silent screams surround my serpentine shrill,
The fearsome fallen angels are hellion sent…
For within the mist of sadness they delight,
Within the shadow of a broken heart.
