About the Poem
This poem is a description of some of the dark periods in my life. Circumstances in life cause us to create walls of protection around our hearts. These walls also serve to encage us when we wish to be free. It is my experience that those walls, at times, cause more pain then they prevent.
Eternity |
| by Marilyn |
| Wandering in darkness grope, Finding not a glimpse of hope. Fingers touch to find my way, Each foot fall, my heart betrays The fear which drives me through the day. Suddenly the ground is lost, Flailing arms as body's tossed. Splashing down in crimson pool, The warm embrace is much too cruel, I curse this lowly, wretched fool. Floundering in this self made hell, Warmth increasing as I dwell, Within the confines I create, Screaming as myself berate, Giving in to this, my fate. |
