SORROW

nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

The hidden sorrow
That dwells within
Eyes not to cry
But swell to swim
A deepened wound
From world is hidden
Locked inside
A deeper prison.

The heart that beats
Once enveloped
A love of life
Laughed and joked
Yet deeper loss
Now transfixed
A distant look
Lost betwixt.

The deepest sadness
A grieving gown
About your frame
A mourning cloud
That often asks
No answer given
Life is cruel
A darkened  prison.

    Our own bodies can be a prison that traps the soul and chains the mind. Nicely written
