Bleak Walls

Bleak walls

Pervading darkness

Stillness cuts like a knife

Famished for meaning

Emptiness swells and suffocates life...

Ah! Once vibrant and beautiful… now devoid of function or purpose

A ravished and animated existence… now lifeless and driven by bitter cold…

Into the grim deadness of winter

The bell tolls… hushed at first… but then more loudly… the enlarging deafening shrillness

The vociferous pandemonium

Cancelling out the bittersweet recall

Oh! Tortuous anguished memories, wilt thou leave me?

When will the turbulent stillness end?

Someone's lost lover - quakes and shivers at the hollow Nothingness…

Evading Solace for eternity...
