Despair

by Christy Trenholm Schmall   Jun 3, 2006


In deep dark delight
They meet
Longed lovers Lost in
Lust's demonic defeat

'Twas Venus' Venue
Twilight on Heath
'Twas her twisted path
took them swift took them sweet

Wind wet vile & cold
Yet they Did bear
In frozen tears Time stood still
Time stood bare

Din from Neptune's bluff
Howling On high Crashing
Waves washing away words
that matter not be they nigh.

In the midst of mayhem's mist
Lovers condemned to be
Forever Caught betwixt
dark destiny

    The blood of a poets broken heart shows up well on the white page with words that show the cracks and depths of that wounded heart. Keep up the good works.
