DARKNESS IN PURSUIT*
Folder:
JOURNAL #36 depression
with all her
'Darkness In Pursuit'
stalks my heart
like the lonely surf
at dusk
taunting the sandy shore
with its constant chasing
and receding
circumstance
it carries
like a weapon
the weight of your
absence
is heavier
than I could have ever
imagined it would be
upon the moon
my longing could
fill the sea of tranquility
driving cold into my heart
like a glacier
making me wonder
if sunshine will ever
splay its warm loveliness
across my stricken cheeks
my old tricks to fake
myself into believing
I'm fine
they just are not working
they cut at my heart instead like
sharp shattered shards of glass
and I laugh at their ridiculous
pain
you got me
you really got me
I'm so roped and tied
and lost
my tomorrow for the moment
is but a cruel chasm
that I can not bare to lift
my eyelids to gaze upon
not until I am certain
again that when I do
I will see you
smiling back at me
your welcome embrace
ever at the ready
and then I know I could
easily fly across that chasm
even if filled with fire
and right into your
outstretched arms
home again and
no longer so distraught...............
