Step Into the Light

Shrouded,
turmoil abounding
as the demons dance
clouding lucid thought
breath stolen,
choking on pain
bound, in their web of deceit
caught, in the liar's snare
pricked mercilessly
by venomous, sharpened words
from hollow beings
Lost in the dance,
as the devil,
softly spoken,
whispers sweet nothings
into anxious ears
and watches, smiling
as you beat yourself
with despair.
Wrapped in his arms,
your Sun is eclipsed.

Fall away, into the void
your center awaits:
beckoning from your corner
of the universe
showing the way
silencing the black wind
that clouds your thoughts
time comes to a crawl,
and only you remain.
The journey awaits you
with open arms.

Stepping softly,
yet you need not be hesitant
just follow the light.

    Such beautiful carved masterpiece etch forever into my mind. That is what your work so far has done my friend. I can only say that I wish that I had as much talent as you. I am going to look at a couple more poems, and then I am heading off to sleep myself.

    excellent

    A true masterpiece. You know I'm trying to think of a word that will fit but amazing and astounding don't seem good enough. That's it! I've got it! Perfect, nope it's more than perfect, sorry I'm an amateur, I'll just say you're as good as Robert Frost. How's that?

    its usually short term and it will pass...

    Shrouded,
