Beltane
Dreams unremembered
left with a dark emptiness
high of love drug
has gone to other side
now walking in numbness
dead waiting to stop
breathing, lifeless
zombies rise in ob
i am one of them
trudging thru another
day - night - street
lights flicker in dismay
the day Love fell away
a cold wind shakes me
deep inside...Gaia tries
resuscitation
while a crow comes to stay
darkness in spring
cherry blossoms wilt
at the lack of sunlight
scorpions scurry
at my feet...death
walks with me today
the great magician drops
his cloth and the tricks
are revealed...what was
once magic now exposed
depression descends
dark blanket of fog
obscuring all in its
heavy mist.....birdsong,
flowers, laughter, all
memories of another time
all but forgotten in
this place
enough
enough
got to go thru motions
pretend life
a Pollyanna whisper
“the sun will shine again”
buried under layer of
dungeon walls
she is in chains
Mistress of Death
will shut her up
make her sorry she
ever tried, cried,
felt loved or lived
Death rules today
