Eclipse

sorenbarrett

The sadness I feel, I can not reveal, nor do I wish it known

Burning tears contain all my fears and melt me to the bone

Like molten steel, welding lips, to conceal words that would flow

The devil sneers, a demon jeers, but hell I already know

 

My head throbs, involuntary sobs, turn to uncontrollable spasms

My body's shaking, convulsions quaking, all in sorrow's chasms

Hope it robs, my gullet bobs, I fall into despair

My breath it's taking, my will it's breaking, no one will care

 

To gain relief, from unquenchable grief, I look to a new day

Night will clear, the last tear and chase misery away

The hour's thief makes life so brief, but love never dies

The sun will cheer and us steer, on to brighter skies

    A very pleasurable journey of rhyme Soren. And the eclipse is quite taking as well both in heart and mind.

  • sorenbarrett

    Thanks Cryptic just thought I would give myself a new challenge to an old rhyme scheme. I'm so glad that you liked it.

    A good write sorting that lot out SB. I thought you was doing algebra! lol.

    • sorenbarrett

      Algebra was never my forte, I preferred trigonometry. Thanks for the read Orchidee.

        I never grasped trigo-wotsit. I never got passed it being a long word! lol. I was like Mr Bean when he had a trigonometry exam. lol.

        Each new day we awake into is a blessing Soren.
