Just pondering on overall life How to paint apocalyptic pads Darkening clay ashes Toneless voices Endless falsehood Withered, weakened Ditched in favor of gloomy, silent hallways Refrains shouting her wails How I'm twisted into a vast web Feeling the quakes of helpless prey In rhymed subtlety fought dream's moods Swelling elegies Lingering sighs Loom twirls on the death spiral A wind song's agonizing aches Swaying in their direction On the verge of a breakdown.

Sad, yet true my friend: Darkening clay ashes Toneless voices Endless falsehood Withered, weakened Ditched in favor of gloomy, silent hallways...

Images of decay and doom abound ! You have painted life in dismal shades. Life is choked with pain and misery, bloodshed and violence. Like T.S.Eliot's Wasteland, there is only barrenness. We need a reawakening ! A Squalid state of affairs..... and your pen has dexterously sketeched the outlines! Great poem, dear friend

The doom, llooms. The truth is distorted. Life is threatened. The end approacheth. Your poem paints an accurate picture of our world today. Frightening in many ways. God help us. Thanks for sharing your thoughts through your eloquent poetry my friend. Have a great day! Bill
