[bodytext] => I died today by my very hand, A welcome retreat…a chance to find A new hell in which to reside. My life did not flash before my eyes, I see a tunnel, though no light. I hear no angels singing; only ribbing laughter. Not a loved one in sight…I knew they were all wrong. Nothing before me but a narrow walkway, engulfed in flames. One step onto this burning path, This burden not a soul should bear. A lifetime of pain and half truths upon my shoulders Left there for me to carry for yet another eternity. The end, forever out of reach. My tears behind me, dancing Waiting for more companions My heart before me, whispers… “Stop your chase; I’ve not a beat left” A detour would be a blessing, For the unknown road would surely be a safer one, Yet it seems this one can not be shaken. Two steps onto this scorching path, Hands blister as I haltingly reach out, Trying to embrace the darkness, to no avail. Only lonely memories reside here, Not a friend or foe to be found. Turning back may be an option Though, would anything really change? Three steps onto this flaming path No reason to turn back now, For surely my fate is sealed...

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. ©
