The Pit of My Soul

By Abilene

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I want to stop this long enough so that I can open my arms And fall back into a musical of tranquility A horrorshow for them, the beautiful leaves falling so lightly you forget that they are symbolic of time I open my arms- stretch 'em out And all of nothing happens- Maybe a release of the last of my energies into the suffocating air of the office I fall into the lids of tired eyes Fall like a stone into the pit of my soul I find the loves of my life hovering there like angels Drawing me patterns of joyful memory I could cry from the beauty of it, but smile instead with the dreaming Just a moment of reverie, then into white walls I stare...
