Daddy's girl
Sinks
To Davy Jones' locker
Of grief.
Dad's earth-shattering goodbye,
So sudden, cruel.
Suicide, no note.
She's too numb
To feel the tsunami
Of looming pain.
In utter disbelief.
Her best friend
Mouths " I'm sorry for your loss"
She mutters
A barely audible "Thank you"
With downcast eyes.
Still numb, in denial.
Pain in her heart unmistakably visible
On face full of tears.
Nothing seems to make sense.
She sits up from bed
Gazing longingly
Into a tenebrious abyss,
Going through a litany of regrets
And missed warning signs.
A sea of confusion
Endlessly churning
In her mind, filled...
With one word question,
"WHY"?

The titans of time bring me back,
as I stare at a vision of long ago…
memories muffled in their menagerie,
serendipitous storms caught between;
tangled tenebrious time…
as the cathedrals crumble to the ground
the memories cyclone within pensive prayers,
for I then fall to my knees…
hopeless, I egregiously encroach,
the battle and the war rages on amidst;
tangled tenebrious time…
I then seduce the nilpotent night
my spirit sorely stands by the wayside,
wounded and watching a weighted will…
your love limited my longing,
imprisoning impulses idling in the beast of;
tangled tenebrious time…
thus I am back as the visions of you fade.
