[bodytext] => That Black weight That you brought down Was determined to Meet with the ground With us inbetween I can't describe The pain I felt Without diatribe Knuckles sinking down Into solid ground Trying to keep these knees off the ground Holding far too long For an absent song Collapsing anyway To find it all gone The straw that Broke the mind and back Was not the weight, but Your additional attacks And so you win You broke the only one Who cared enough to try Under this eclipsed sun What's done is done And moving on I find that You're never really gone All that spent emotion That great catastrophy Managed to grow greater Than both you and me It's been years, and still I'm half underneath Watching my heart Spit out broken teeth My tongue tasting like Wet ashes in my mouth Remebering how Everything went South My words sent out to The world as a smoke Clouding my meanings And making me choke I have been trying now For far too long To purge myself Of your absent song The more I try, it seems The more it stays on I write and write and write But it is never truly gone Until now, I feel Finally, its grip slipping MY feet coming into cadence Despite my heart-heavy tripping Coming out onto this Long winter beach Where I am suddenly Beyond all reach And it feels great Seeing gray sand Bleed into gray skies Painting an unpromised land Doubled for the living I doubt you'd recognize What you would see Behind these aged eyes.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
