Aching Darkness

Satin darkness falls over the earth
Littering the sky with twinkling stars
Mind forming memories, heart with scars

Silence stretches on with no end
Wishing time would feverishly pass by
Gruelingly slow it moves making me sigh

An aching in the heart squeezing it tight
Drowning from inner longing tears
A voice ears wishing, needing to hear

Teardrops slide from sorrow filled eyes
Emptiness tightening around the heart
Then the wishful dreams flare and start

Peace and quiet can be nice except when you are feeling lonely... the above verse is my favorite and the whole poem is quite wonderful despite the dark feel.

[Mauricio Montoya]

For me this piece brings me to those moments of despair where there’s no solution, remove the darkness and the light of hope will shine in.
Excellent write.

[Coyote Poetry]

A poem with a sad tone to the words. A loneliness in the words. When night overtake us. Easy to fall to old memories. I like the ending.
"Then the wishful dreams flare and start"
A outstanding poem. Thank you.

Such a sad. sad silence .. an almost isolation when nerves reach from inside out; but, maybe we need times like that to discover there's hope and more ahead ..
