Ghastly Gallivanting
8th April; Entry no. 7
A poem
Out of darkness and into light,
This is where my journey lies.
I feel afraid, I feel alone,
Wishing I could turn back home.
Something’s jolting me onwards,
Filling my head with words,
I want to scream and say leave me be,
But I can’t …
With this weakness that’s engulfing me.
I see people, I hear voices,
Am I dying?
It is a wonder …
What is life?
I start to ponder.
Is it misery … is it pain …
Is it peace or is it love?
Images flashed through in sight,
As I felt myself being thrust upright.
I feel pain, and then peace,
I can finally opened my eyes with ease,
A million volts electrify through me,
Is this how my death would be,
What is this feeling I know not to be true,
This feeling … oh how I have no clue.
It is a batter of joy and misery,
A concoction which makes you drowsy,
Thinking thinking … seemingly endlessly,
But never fear for it isn’t boozy.
I drift away watching my limp body,
Helpless and small, looking scrawny.
A gentle chap hugging my body; sobbing,
The gentle chap I know to be my everything.
Universes apart though we may be,
Through his eyes is how I will see,
His fragile heart beating for me now,
Even death will never break out vow.
I smile knowingly that love forever is,
My sweetest misery that will always be his.
