A DARK POEM

by Gary Jurechka   Sep 26, 2007


A pariah
of my own Parnassus

with
not enough faith in anything
to be a martyr for anything

death
is a lucid sleep, a waking enigma,
an anxiety attack into nothingness

sanity
is a delusion of the insane

dreams
are nothing more than
wistful alternatives never realized

and
something about daylight scares me

circa 1998-2000(?)

    WOW! This is just... amazing, really amazing, every line is totally mind-blowing. I can't describe beauty of this piece, every word is picked with such flawless passion and it is so creative too.
    Wow, you honestly left me speechless, so deep and effective thoughts.
    Bravo, you should be proud on your ability to write something beautiful as this.
    (I must have this poem in my favorite once)
