Tom Mcmurray Poet Free verse

Vincent's Visions (Let Me Be!)

Outside the bounds 
Of suffering 
Within the song of soul 
Precarious maestros play 
Nocturnal notes forgotten 
That flash and splash 
Like rivers 
Of silver-threaded 
Raindrop pearls 
Against my window pane 

Memory unfolds 
In silent mood 
Drowning my emotion's 
Failing grace 
Leaving spectral drops 
Of moisture's rainbow tears 
Sheared from eyes 
Long blind to life's reality 

Concealed pain 
Hidden deep inside 
As darkness falls 
Engulf me sweetly 
In the succor of your sleep 

Take this bitter life 
Replete with pale shadows 
Release the golden 
Shimmering shades 
Of sun's surreal caress 

Give me peace 
Hear my plea 
Let me be
