Dark Skies

Lamenting cloud through teary eye

Tonight with me the heavens cry

Contortion of my eyes making the whole world dark

Our of my outstretched reach the only spark

Constant rain pours over my soul

The guard of pain my constant patrol

Shunned away from the blazing sun

Agony my only remaining patron

I’m an actor on strings in endless tragedy

This play holding no happy ending for me

Given all I need but my heart’s desire

Given life with not even smoldering fire

Thrown into spiraling confusion in downward fall

I have nothing to lose; so I lose it all

Set in ocean of circling sharks

To afraid to swim, thus suffering the marks

I am life’s eternal lamenting clown

Soul hidden by makeup and perpetual frown

I make no jokes but live one instead

I am a book with not a word to be read

Not because I haven’t lived are my pages bare

But because I could not stand condescending stare

The world perceives me its perfect mold

But only because my life’s story remains untold

I am a mime just going through the motions

I make no sound; you make your notions

Voiceless, faceless, actionless am i

Must you wonder why tonight I cry
