Do you know the other side of Never?



Poem Artwork




She packed her bags today and left

for the other side of Never.

A safer, quieter place

For those who need to heal.



No maps required

no signposts found...

Just a lone candle

flickering softly

in the blessed silence




On the other side of Never

even the hiccoughing sounds of desolate weeping are muffled

the insistent rhythmic spatter of blood

from a hundred wounds

are softened by the grace of compassions soothing hand


it is a good place.. a sanctuary

where broken minds can mend

free of ridicule and scalding scorn

where shame cannot sully

fragile hearts


She sits alone,

bloodied and soiled

on the other side of Never,

where tomorrow never comes,

haunted by yesterdays

endless pain
