High Noon

I find the cycle slows with time

The tendency my mind rewinds

The intervals are spreading out

A time I looked upon with doubt

 

Less pain

Less pain

But pain anew!

Two kinds of pain... Not pain times two

 

A tinge of guilt perhaps and shame 

The dustiness of thought - time's stain

 

And through the window sunshine peeks

Away the shadow slowly creeps

Not light, not dark - a half lit gloom

Surrounds the bed and I till noon

 

The sun's high shine...

An hour?

A day?

A decade?

Till my deaths decay?

 

Not ruled by dark

Not saved by light

But floating on the edge of night.

 

And doomed by memory's stone walled tombs

Waiting here till time's high noon. 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It's been a little while since I posted one.... This poem has been very difficult to finish and took me a loooong time and a lot of thought. I Havnt struuggeled so much with a poem before.

Thanks!

I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. Fluidity to me is the most important part and I worked a great deal to make it so in this poem. :)
