Jeff Cornelius Poet Rhyme

Shadows In the Dark

With peace a distant memory 
and love so far removed
I fear I must retreat inside 
the sanctum of my tomb

As tortured voices call to me 
I ponder at the door
Shall I release my hold on life 
of this I must implore

Since forgiveness seems so silent 
and my sorrows seem so loud
My thoughts escape detection as 
I face the maddening crowd

But hope remains my company 
as darkness turns from light
All my dreams have disappeared 
like birds thats taken flight

I marvel at the mysteries 
which shadows ushered in
The halls of pain within my Hell 
have started once again

I scream surrender in my soul 
with nothing left to prove
With peace a distant memory 
and love so far removed
