DARK  NIGHT  OF  THE  SOUL

Poem for Today - Sunday - December 14, 2014

IN  THE  DARK  OF  NIGHT

As you all peacefully sleep

My heart is awoken by the darkness of the night

I slumber through this empty house

For I carry in me a heavy heart

I light a candle, then a few

The movie of my past now flashes before my eyes

I stare at the empty walls, where pictures once hung

I hear the ghostly voices of lovers past

I hear the silence of dreams escaped

A sad faced mime touches my shoulder

Whispers of I feel your pain drift out the open window

Alone
