"RETREAT & SURENDER"A Poem by Kenny L. Mitchell“RETREAT & SURRENDER”
There is an abject silence That fills the empty room Falling like shards of glass From a red tinted ceiling
The forgot psalms I’ve sung Spring from my fevered brow The distant echo of youth Playing games within my mind
What of all the people I used to know as a boy Why have they fallen To the cruel pace of time
The sickening sob of regret Echoes elegantly from my breast As if a bird scrambling to leave The shackles of it’s golden cage
I am a prisoner of my own choices The bittersweet wine sipped & digested From the broken chalice of sweet death
Angels of grace & mercy Glance over this forgotten soul Let the beauty of sweet inebriation Release me from all that I know
