The Lemming Within

There is not time,
Hate runs eternal,
Enraging his soul.

Left to his own devices,
Eager not to fail,
Made his way to his destiny,
Measured steps,
Inside screaming,
Night closing,
Goodbye to fear.

Waiting, hoping,
Instinctive pondering,
Tell tale rivers,
Hasten from his eyes,
Inviting water,
Never see her face again

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
