The Gauntlet
Share February 22, 2006 | Poetry & Prose
ominous
forbidden…
stretching its talons
and wings of hatred across
the land, in this darkest of hours
where angels fear
in the darkness of the soul
we must pass, through
this essence of anguished, torture
the pain
unbearable, forthcoming
lost hope, plunged
into the deep grave of coldness
alive, only to
feel this pain, this sadness
this endless struggle
the mind
seeks to survive
this onslaught of misery
this burden, this gauntlet
that can not be avoided…
shelter
warmth
comfort…
no where in sight
torment, desolate
penetrating the heart
like an icy cold dagger, that
does not release its death grip
on mercy of its victim…
tortured
and broken
the light beyond the hills
is much too far, the warmth
non-existent…
cold and desolate
stricken with isolation
clinging to the hopes
and dreams that seem but
a vague memory from a past lifetime…
isolation…
the darkness that must be overcome…
