there's light somewhere there
far-distant
unreachable
oh well, at least the temps pleasant
a warmth I couldn't feel before
drowning

Listening to the crashes of the waves
Against the rocks below.
We prayed for morning light,
And sanity,
As we weathered the storm.

Down the hill and down,
Eating everything in their path.
They were aware,
And they were out for blood.

And a gnashing of teeth.

Everything I had I poured into those pages.
Every word dripping with passion, understanding, and reason.
Years of my life literally inked into the columns.
But when it was done, all i could do was throw it away.
Fed it to the crocodiles even.
It was no use to me

Upon our floating blue rock.

For all those who come after.

I do not know if I should be afraid
or welcome the bliss of an eternal sleep.
what waits
in the darkness after?
is there such
or has our desire to keep living
blinded us to the truth?

isn't alive.

So that we would always remember
Those who came before
Lost to the ravages of war.

Burning in our hearts.

Said a prayer she hoped he heard,
And was gone.

Of abundance in my life
Before all became darkness.
In memoriam, my past dead
And I trudge past the living,
A shackle on swollen feet.

They rake up the leaves.

Alive inside of me.

If they saw me coming,
They'd run.
And I was getting hungrier
