Empty breath

How can balmy summer evenings always seem so cold ?
When moon stands high like timeless sentry, calmly looking down
Silhouettes the silent bat that dips and swirls the sky
Fox calls carried from the woodland, menacing the night
How can quiet seem like torture sent to tear the soul ?
Tranquility so often sought becomes the living hell
Sleep is comfort,numbs all sense of pain and emptiness
Slumbered like a baby, shutting out the daunting world
How can time become a cage from which there's no escape ?
Where once were fleeting moments, are now eternity
The days that would be filled with laughter, rich with grains of joy
Subsided to the crushing rocks of this monotony
How can the food that tasted sweet, turn bitter and so sour ?
The lightest meal so heavy now that apetite is gone
So stale is life, so too is mind, for need we eat not want
A taste alone, devoid of pleasure, purely functional
Without the other, incomplete, as body without mind
The armour cracked, the flesh exposed, inviting in the wound
The cure to end this suffering is union again
Renew me with your presence and cease this empty breath

Excellent writing. A very accurate
description of the time apart. To those
of us who know there will be no reunion
this poem is quite painful to read. That
, however , only speaks for the power
of your words. Wonderful work. Truly , Doug |
