Sufferance [poetry]

Updated: Jan 29, 2021

Sometimes we have to experience low moments in life in order to fully appreciate the highs. During lows we take the time to reflect and grow.


Salvation

i have slid to the bottomless pit of grief

tittered on the balance beam of insanity

denied the reality of my own existence

kept loneliness as a constant companion

experienced impalment of human rejection

believed incapable of one step forward


yet


in the darkest darkness I found my path

only in life’s lowest points of sufferance

can a flicker of light apear as a blazing


beckon of salvation


 

Madness of Indifference

i have touched madness

and visited dark corridors

stood steps from the abyss

internal void of nothingness

clung to hopes and dreams

and dogmatic scriptures

for way too long to recall


my very soul screamed

from depths of existence

no sound passed my lips

silent cries of despair

and I remained invisible

but of flesh and bones


my carcass laid open

cruel predators to feast

gorged themselves on flesh

rotten flesh of madness

numbness floods my soul

followed by the inevitable

left only hollow but


Glorious Indifference

 

Anguish

Night a time to reflect

on things now passed

on all the dark demons

still clutching the heart


a time to embrace the

sharp sinking teeth of

cold hearted betrayal

a time to let the soul

scream with madness

in the silence of night

where it is not heard


and can never be forgotten


 

The Beast

Sun’s light slowly sinking

Night’s tentacles reaching

Slithering, sliding darkness

Panic as awareness sets in


Wrapping Squeezing tightly

Gluttonous feeding starts

Such tasty fragile thoughts

Flood neuron fibers nightly


Without day time distractions

Night continues on to feast

Uncontrolled thoughts racing

Sleep only can kill this beast
