Poetry: Alone

A Quintessential Farewell

Amidst the light that I could never see,
I now embark to quit, and foresake Thee.

By silent roar, I silence my own fear
with bitter grief for music I can't hear.

The air floats smallest bits of earthen scent
just remnants now of life that came and went.

I taste an envy for gifts unbestowed,
My haste, my impulse! My demise foretold.

And on my flesh glides grief and deep regret
that I shall no more feel, my blood so let.

    If you ever sipped from the
    chalice of awareness, the penalty
    could be: depression-
    living in a small coagulated island

    ALONE

    Her form lies printed on the sheet
    Her fragrance lingers in the heat
    What chance that we again should meet
