There is a part of me I cannot tell <br />About the dark inside I know so well… <br />It survives so deep in me within <br />Where to start, I can’t even begin… <br /> <br />Living within my velvet blue dreams <br />Stitched in with silver at the seams <br />Embossed with wishes made of gold <br />Now worn threadbare as I grow old <br /> <br />The warm embrace with comfort galore <br />Wears thinner as the tighter I wore <br />But a hole started opening in the ground <br />As I got lost walking around and around <br /> <br />Now the thorny walls grow ever higher <br />As the hole deepens with all lost desire <br />Dark and damp as I find myself lying here <br />Scrawling to clutch whatever I held dear <br /> <br />Memories pooling at my saddening feet <br />Where my cold heart and swirling mind meet <br />Feelings are lost where they got left behind <br />Reality and fears meld in stories past and unkind <br /> <br />From the bottom of this dark and dank well <br />I see light fleeing from my eyes like an eerie spell <br />Body broken and hopes are all but forgotten <br />Flesh drips from my bones, putrid and rotten <br /> <br />There is no escape as the walls are slimy and sheer <br />No point in screaming, there’s no one to hear <br />At last my inner peace I have finally found <br />As I become one with this earthily ground… <br /> <br />In the end, here I reluctantly lie in this shadowy grave <br />My bones will the bottom of my resting place pave <br />Happy that I am again returning into the earthen loop <br />As my trusting friends the worms turn me to soup…<br /><br />DEEP DARK SOUL POET<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/velvet-blue-dreams/
