Maria Hobden Poem
Gone without doubt.
Black lungs charred that glisten like coal,
Try stand and stumble like new born foal .
Bludgeoned and shattered by what’s inside me,
The force of disease you cannot see.
Surrounded by shadows lurking with fear,
Inevitable death gaining ever so near.
Worry lines laughter lines cuts bruises scars,
Body is prison with no visible bars.
Memory wiped clean with odd speck of dust,
Mind closed to the possibility of future lust.
Figments of past life floating on by,
Heightens the urgency wanting to die.
Life taken too short no time to grieve,
Born lived died we come and we leave.
Not out dancing no dinner no wine,
Bullets of pain lodged in the spine.
Life in slow motion play button paused,
Always a burden the upset you’ve caused.
Dragged down deeper invisible hole,
Rumbles of thunder muster deep in your soul.
Constant eclipse in eyes filled with hate,
Lured into the darkness with shards of deaths bait.
No escape now til wooden box laid,
Sadness tears anguish and memories fade.
Return to your loved ones but only as guest,
As you fly on the wings of Robin red breast.

Maria Hobden Poem
Times gone, forgotten
Left in the past
Harsh winds of life
Have broken my mast.
Swept no direction
Lost in my pain
Thoughts of happiness
Now a faded old stain.
Corners of loneliness
Fraught every day
Words of contentment
Stand in my way.
Shadows of grief
Swallow my soul
My mind falls deeper
Never ending black hole.
Swaddled in sadness
No smiles laughs or cheer
A stranger my reflection
The future never clear.
Don’t see myself
As I did before
Deepness of sorrow
Right to the core.
No light in the tunnel
No light at the end
No invitations
To RSVP send.
My life is on hold
I don’t have the keys
Many surround me
But not one of them sees.
Barbed wire held me
Right from the start
As clouds of grey
Consume my heart.
Feeling so desperate
The hole has been dug
Now nothing to stop me
From pulling the plug.
