11th February 2020
The shadows encompass my existence
Here in my cornered gloom.
Inside they dare to wander
Searching for old but new.
Perched high on brave display,
Once my visage all were raptured.
Eternal spotlight warmed sweet faces
My purpose and delight entwined.
So fond was felt my presence then,
Under the sun no brighter light.
Could any steal my warm embrace?
Kisses bestowed from dusk till dawn
Surely none could relegate.
Halt! a broken bulb of shattered dreams.
All radiance blinkered out.
The lamp of soul swung swiftly
Elsewhere to be snuffed.
Sojourned to the forgotten recesses.
Yesterday, today, forever
Life still resides yet
Vicariously.
I Am Penitent.
Light Allowed
To Heal?
