Aki in Poetry & Free Verse

AAAAAAA

I rhyme to fill the vacancies in my head

silently scream till I painfully run out of breath

glacially stuck in my ways

aimlessly wandering harboring hate

fatally carrying all this weight

between the spaces lies pain

where one thousand spectres raise

memories of countless cherished days

now filled with dread,

mind made hell

clouds they pelt

with rain it hails

grounds embrace flame,

pain kissed steps

take me to the edge

tempest of temptation

promises abyssal absolution

so I close my eyes and envision,

another rhyme

to drown out my mind

to jot down on my paper heart

not a line—but a rhyme.
