Poem Artwork


 

In deepest night of soul
there is little left whole
schism in every part
shatters the heart


There is a lantern
but no light burns
there is a mind
vacant and blind


Glimpse of heaven lost
visions of hell cost
naught soothes the beast
left with the least


phoney metaphors
like pseudo whores
those you can toss
with the other dross


cast away the doubt
recognize the drought
woeful  fears
soon will appear


cause and effect
hard to detect
when only bitter
is left in the litter


no one will attest
did what is best
for lethal decisions
have no visions


this much I confess
it's esoteric at best
the remants will remain
in my hidden domain


etw~

Eileen

Only you know the full extent and depth of your despair,.. and yet hope,.. that exists and burns ever so bright, in the innermost recesses of your heart..

A very pugnacious and courageous write of brave honesty and clarity

Tell it as it is Eileen !

And what a whopper of a supernatural graphic..

Love

Peter

Wonderful rhyme scheme and rhythm within this piece.. short clipped lines lend themselves well to the spirit of the piece and make quite an impact.

Sometimes, no matter what we have or what is presented to us, everything seems to slip into darkness or become negative energies. These are the times to renew the spirit, clear out the nasty spider webs that clog up the gloomy places where we have packed away our troubles and draw in the holy, healing light to illuminate those dank holding areas. Negativity only breeds more negativity, so the time is now to do a little spiritual house cleaning, open the heart to the beauty that surrounds us and take a moment to count our blessings. Lots to ponder in this excellent poem, Eileen.

Take care,

Sherry

Quite a 'dark' poem for you, Tiger Lily. I hope the 'light' breaks through soon.

My, my, we're in a bad mood tonight!!! If your thoughts are so esoteric, they will remain hidden in you. But we all need each other's help. Lovely dark poem, as I love them.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
