Trapped Energy
Trapped Energy - Wallpaper Story Trapped energy weaves and wraps itself around my bones Pulling tighter and tighter they dance into knots They curl and furl and coil even tighter My deep breath turns shallow and then - a moan What is the purpose of this pain? What does it wish to tell me and why Dear God, so loudly? Twitches and spasms my spine is on fire It aches and it bends unable to carry the weight Of all this inflamed trapped energy How do I release that which is too h

An Episode of Pain
An Episode of Pain - Wallpaper Story The grief that grips my body The pain that refuses to let go The sadness at what could have been The anger at what’s not The broken heart that still needs mending The sad soul that has oh so many questions unanswered That dear depression that pushes in Slowly at first And then whoosh The shock and trauma still heavy and hot And the tears that pour And the pain that will not let go… Breathe body - begone pain, I beg of you Leave me to be

You

An Artist’s Nightmare

But you just stood still And strangled my will Throwing me down to the floor Then you lay

Life’s Silhouetted Words
Life's Silhouetted Words - Wallpaper Story Life devoid of meaning Bursting with feelings Moments of blissful joy Disturbed in night’s darkness Consumed by doubt and fear With the light of day Hidden behind dark curtains drawn I lay in the arms of my dear old friend Not weak Not strong Merely existing Reluctantly holding on Will any of it ever make sense? I ask Before I am gone? Or perhaps my words Will aid them on Those who aren’t here yet? Those who are not yet gone? Or will

My Shadow
My Shadow - Wallpaper Story His Shadow stood tall and dark I turned and looked with a start “You’re back.” I remarked. “I never left.” He said with an invisible smirk His loud whisper crushed my heart with a jerk. “Of course.” Said I. Tears streamed from my eyes. Lies lies lies. Meaningless lies. Trapped in the darkness of the night’s skies. Nowhere to go. Nothing to be. Left all alone my shadow and me.
