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.
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.
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.
