The Here And The Hollow
Trapped in the hollow of darkness
And no one will hear me scream
Where blood ran from the wound of sadness
As I cried at the arms of death to sleep
This room we share
And I know you're scared
But pray don't leave me alone
Don't shut your eyes nor turn on the light
For me to disappear in my own home
I need you to see
How the wolves ravaged my heart
And tore away my joy and peace
They dismantled my future
Till there was nothing to salvage
From the atoms they left of me
Now my degradation's unmasked
Will you shepherd me back
To the mountain scattered of sheep
I miss my mother
And her aura of comfort
Where has she gone
And where is the light for me
Fear not the nocturnal visions
As I invade your sidereal sphere
For you've shunned my screams
While the ceiling remains my limit
And its clouds will never clear
Yet alone I brace the valley of death
As shadows enclose on eternal dawn
And I fade with this evanescent breath
Where no one can hear me as I call

IAN Sir!!...... what a profoundly well expressed piece of poetic sadness and grief.... where circumstance seems to have invaded the very heart of the authors self preservation notions and a 'suspension of disbelief' where at its core...... he has surrendered for the sake of truths final 'Win Out"(in my most humble opinion)....... for his pain is far too great to have to continue to carry the burden alone any longer....... this is SO VERY well conceived and BEAUTIFULLY delivered that it heads straight to the "Head Of The Class".... where it will be perused and applauded for its amazing sleight of hand and subtlety!!......ALL STARS & PINNED!!.......smokin' Grooves brother!!..........I know I don't often comment on your stuff!!.... doesn't mean I don't read it though!!.... smiles......T xo. : )

I've been captivated by your words. I'm delighted I've had the opportunity to read these. Thank you for sharing.
You are too kind my friend. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate it.
Seldom a poem lingers for very long after reading it. This one is
lingering for days because it touched my very soul. I just want to tell you that, Ian.
It has an overwhelming sadness enlaced in beauty.
