The Void

Trance like stare, as empty irises glare into the voiD.
The image of death sleeks past with gloating stealth
stealing happiness as it drip feeds from the inners of a rotting corpse.
 
Will has lost its way and not a sign of Hope in hell!
This place that can only be described as existence
and hidden from those with rose coloured glasses.

Paul Callus Date: 3/6/2018 8:07:00 AM This is a very expressive poem, Laura; when hope diminishes life becomes hard to cope with. I hope it is only the cold of winter that's to blame for such feelings! Expressing yourself in writing helps to sooth any ache within. ~ Warm regards, my friend. // paul Login to Reply Laura Hay Date: 3/6/2018 4:48:00 PM Expression through writing has always been a great therapy for me.
