"Slip Away"
As I walk along this shoreline
I see my life slip away…slip away
Like the dark cloud above my head
With every breath that I take
New fear still awakes
Taking this route alone
Walking away from this place called home
There will be no return
As for now this heart does not yearn
To float or embrace death zone alone
This shallow life filled with nothingness
Wallowing around in this dark abyss
Where there is no thrill or fun or love
Just running from booze and abuse
There was a time when life was fun
But for now I rather face the gun
For the bullet through my heart
Torn my life apart
I’ve been walking in darkness for years
And see life slip away…slip away from me
Like the dark cloud above my head
There will be no return
For a new life to begin
A heart needs to yearn for love

though sort of dark
Is that you Tinka?
Is that John Waye?
Still looking for the lost Horizon
as the ocean tickle your tootsies
on the soft sandy shores?
William ...love & peace
make a new and better future! Be kind to yourself
Tinka!
This one speaks of hopelessness and despair. I hope this is only a poem you write. Very touching emotions indeed.

Now dem dere iz some true words, girlie. What a dark write. But I don't know, if I had the figure of that woman in the picture, I think I 'd be feeling just dandy. ;-) Time to hit the gym. ~~~Nordette

Life is what you make it and you're not doing anything about it.
Get the hell out, and make a new start. Nothing can be worse than it seems for you at the present, so why not give it a try?
Sorry, but I'm not going to pussy-foot around like these other reviewers are doing!

A grand rhythmic poem that is 'charged' with a deepness flowing from the soul - a sadly beautiful write!
