Only beginning..

Only darkness remains...

I have seen darkness,

with eyes of coal

Ash hidden deep inside

That tears of pain stain

All within me, above, beneath

That there is no ending

Only beginning

Over and over again

Repeating..

 

Over..

Over...

 

I sip from the cup of nowhere

The taste,

oh so sweet, yet bitter

Oh to die in peace

I so wish

Pray for everlasting release

Oh but it can not be

For who to punish,

if not me?

 

I waste away in chains that bind

Arms held tightly that I choke

Yet still tears fall

Upon dusty floors

Beneath my naked and open form

Lashes of memories

Whips through me

And I welcome it,

smilingly, willingly

And I die...

 

Yes....

 

Oh how sweet...

 

I have seen darkness, 

with eyes of coal

Ash hidden deep inside

That tears of pain stain

All within me, above, beneath

That there is no ending

Only beginning..

There is much sadness in this piece, that takes your readers on an emotional journey through the different emotions expressed here. I like how you ended on a positive note, and each day, even in our darkest moments, are new beginnings...great job Magdelena.

Reading your poetry. Make me desire to write different. Each poem with different feel and emotion. I like the emotional journey and thoughts create by this poem. A positive ending to a outstanding poem.

This sounds like a person trying to escape a abusive relationship... so very nicely expressed, you haven't lost your touch. It is nice to see you writing again.

[Patches I'm not so new..]

This is a bitter poem it isn't like you at all well written as usual you have that special "knack" Can't honestly say I enjoyed this but then---- it is Christmas time

there is a sadness and yet a rejuvenating view within your poem Mags...entering the darkness and then escaping its clutches...whether in death or the ending it is all the same...the beginning is the outcome...nice work

I have seen darkness
with eyes of coal
Ash hidden deep inside
That tears of pain stain

What a icy vision of death to me.
