Depression Tetractys Poems

lone
Tears gush, 
Confinement, 
Words escaping, 
Thoughts in melancholy, destitute, void
Reality morose, deeper I sink
Lies believing, 
Torn apart, 
Future,

Talons perched over eyes ~ bedevilment
Red rose to cheek
Poor devil’s

Searing

Old Nick’s migraine
Rusting of love’s chariest memories

Smile 
weaved on
your bright face
moonbeam lattice,
set rare rhythm of rhapsody in my heart. 
I travelled on stardust drenched lonely path
with lost gem’s glint,
and walk now

The self-imposed isolation that has
blocked out the light
of friendship,
laughter,
and 
love
is now
challenged by
streams of bright light. 
Holy Spirit’s message: “Time to come back”!

Age,
Remorse,
But what if,
I need more time,
These things begin to haunt as one ages.

But demons can be killed by one's resolve,
So look ahead,
And set goals,
Be strong,

I 
Should have
Known the price
I'd have to pay
After the second time I loved you broke
My weary, stone heart into rough pieces; 
That should I love
You...

creative
bursts of glory
Napoleon’s dream of faroff campaigns
chaotic scribbling, flamboyant plans at
the speed of light
all night long,
unused

south’s

energies
once great, abate

Death
seeping
through the walls
dark dampened mind,
Sunlight ceased to enter here long ago
thoughts sinking deeper and deeper in ground
like marshy land,
depression
winner
now.

just
beyond
his compass
ambitions lay
buried deep within long forgotten dreams;
then
the band
started up,
and he awoke-
seizing his chance,re-joined life's merry dance...

Lost,
Alone,
And afraid,
Sad and friendless,
How I wish this pain would just disappear;
Leave me at peace with solitary thoughts;
Isolated,
Secluded,
Destroyed,
Scared.
Numb,
Empty,
Uncaring,
Without feeling,
You left me a vacant shell, drained of...

Scars
The pain
Traced in flesh
Permanent strife
An everlasting memory of hurt

They adorn my body like dead skin cells
Never fading
They stay there
Always
Scars...
