Abysmal Poems - Poems about Abysmal

Spring’s Abysmal Guile By Sy Roth A vapor rises, rank as the charnel pit, a corruption of a miasma vast, as though some sepulcher, long sealed, split its stony jaws to breathe.

The terrible misfortune of one wretched lonesome Poetic soul in an emotional life who travels helplessly down a long tunnel with no ending in sight Passing by the familiar face of abysmal darkness Who speaks gently to me of eternal nothingness.

One dip into your eyes And my itches get soothed Just one dip And I realize that in your depth, Lies my anchorage! Since when has one mere little dip Been enough? I shall thirst for more And I shall grip you, Claw at you, So that your heart turns into an abyss Into which I shall jump Merely To lose myself From the drylands that I have been Rooted...

Slay me now, and take a solemn vow, Men can't say I might have died this way, Thrust me through, and make it strong and true. I'm a wreck, but long live the king Abimelech....

You are my idol, epitome of my life. I treasure thy memories,buried deep in my heart. I cherish that warmth as a toddler, When on your chest I slept .
