Vicious Rhythm

The lump in my throat compelled me to believe.

that once there was a time of festiveness,

which has now turned into a vicious rhythm.

The unrealized desires are reduced to tears, 

where the laughter of childhood turned into subdued smiles.

The severance of your own begetter, 

aches just like dry spells in a well-plowed field.

One's good spirits become a cage of gloom for the other.

They thought they were emancipating, but who knew they were culminating in something that hadn't even commenced yet.

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome 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.
