I walk in the twilight …
in that in-between place which separates
the darkness from the light …
That place where colors and dreams are
washed out into differing shades of gray …
and they slowly fade away into the nothingness
of what was …
disappearing from the future of what could
have been …
Where the ghosts of lost friendships and
lost loves are my only companions …
the weight of despair is crushing my soul
with a cold indifference …
and a feeling of hopelessness engulfs all …

The essence of you swirls and
flows around me like a wild thing
moving just outside the light
that is the burning flames of love
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Sometimes coming so close that
the flames dance with wild desire
and other times moving away and
leaving them as cooling embers
waiting to once more be fanned into
heartwarming flames of love

My life has been a living
hell the last several years
and I still haven’t learned
how to face this fear
The fear of losing all
because of lies I believed
a hell of my own making
was the reward I received
The loss of trust and friendships
is almost too much to bear
but I’ll continue with my struggles
and try my best not to care

As the storms of life
swirl around about me
there is another brewing
down deep inside
A whirlwind of hurt,
anger and confusion
slowly eroding away at
the core of my being
The very core of who
and of what I am
until nothing of
me remains and
I become just an
empty shell of a man

Within the silence
here
in this prison
of solitude
my soul is
trapped
within its
own despair
Isolated within
the darkness
behind this
broken mirror
In a place where
no one can hear
the cries of the
damned

Here in the dark desolate
landscape of the ever night
I hear the rustling of their
feathery wings . . . Raven’s . . .
Messengers of the gods . . .
Bearers of dark tidings
We wait together in the night
peering out into the void
watching as pale shadows
stir aimlessly . . . Trapped . . .
Lingering shades of past lives . . .
Lost here forevermore
