Reasons for a Journey Date: Tuesday, 4th March 2014 @ 05:08:50 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: Invierno Where went the souls of Thomson, Plath and Poe? If souls indeed there are to go- Mortal coils, shed by choice Words inadequate to voice. The poems and prose- not enough To quell the pain of life’s cruel stuff. Did they see what I see now? Did futile musings rank first among thoughts last By shotgun, booze, an oven’s gas? Did relief at last push aside despair At going somewhere- just not here.
