Release `05

All lights are off as I sit alone
A melody teases the edge of a memory of days long since gone
Each passing second that lilting tune draws closer
It's volume steadily increasing, bringing clarity
Despair emerges, singing an enticing story
Weaving seductive words into a powerful spell that shuts out any light
Isolating my soul
Locking my will away in cold, blaring silence
Manipulating my thoughts
Whispering to me destruction
Planting seeds of self-mutilation
Gently pushing me over that faint line
Steadily guiding me into death's embrace

Wow you capture the feeling of absolute helplessness and utter despair, bringing it home beautifully. These feeling last only a moment, but tend to burn deep, This one came from a bright blue flame, hot enough to melt the edges of the soul. Well done.

this one is very good

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
