THE DEPTHS OF DESPAIR

 

 

Anguish is my sole friend.

Tentacles wrap me close

with its wiry arms of despair.

The day holds no easement for my pain.

The sun shines too bright from its tall pedestal.

The night brings forth the proud moon

that rides the sky with its chariot of horses.

Its glow lights the hearts of the forgotten.

Its reflection soothes the troubled soul.

One more minute before I join the others.

The ones who search for the white reflection

in the cold depths below.

Conjure a spooky atmosphere here, susanne,
a night of dark despair that can descend
like a fog and catch you unawares.

Thank you, everyone. I wrote this one and Path to Our Own Destruction at 3 in the morning. The time of day when my writing sometimes surprises or even scares me.

Something very dark and terrifying dwells in these words. Despair is the word. You are the master of this kind of dark poetry. And I always admire the images you take great care in choosing for these brilliant poems of themes like this.

Loved this, Susanne, very much so. The images you incorporated in each and every line made this poem stand out!

The depths of despair, where the forgotten join the the abandoned. Deep and dark.

slightly dark and well written. I loved the last two lines.

Cheers,

Nicely imaged. Gently creepy. One of your best, perhaps. Peace... r

In the depths of despair can sometimes be found the light of the moon "in the cold depths below." Eeriely beautiful
