Darkened skies ripped by streaks,
Hearts melted by humid heat
and sorrowful longings,
putrid stench the soul of your mind,
an eyesore for the blind.

A song for the deaf to hear,
the power of an eye of truth,
the shoreline receding,
indication of a tide of lonely.

Dawn approaching but yet so far,
the sun a speck of starlight,
the moon a fading face,
the gray of misty vapor,
the symbol of a mindless venture.

Weep in sorrow for me,
for I am the child of fear.
The heart of love for the fetal home
has turned into ice and stone.

And now I run.
And now I roam.
And now I travel
to a new home.

I will be missed and
I'll miss all.
But I have to go
before I fall.
Kristin Vislocky May 2012
Where do I begin?
Certainly can not from the beginning
Enter the darkness again
Exile from the light.

Stay in my infantile thoughts,
My selfish whims,
My horrid delights.
That's what I'll do.

Go back to your silent reverence.
I'll go back to mine.

You want hidden?
I'll be hidden.

You want to be silent?
So will I.

Loss hits hard.
Thoughts begin again.
Late night attempt.
Insomniac attack.

No laughter heard.
No joy sounded.
No smile seen.
No tears fall.

Exanimation at its best.
Not depressed,
Not sad,
Not happy, nor mad.
Just Dead.

These are the times to dread the most.
Rather than feel,
You die inside.
Kristin Vislocky May 2012
Ever felt light and shadow all at once?
Ever felt darkness and day at the same time?
Ever had every feeling of every emotion you can imagine
bottled up inside?

Understand the feeling is incomprehensible,
it is non-understandable,
it is unfathomable,
unquestionably surreal.

Death and life thoughts together,
oceans and thunderstorms,
coarse and smooth,
fluffy and rough.

All of those at once,
who knows how to handle it?
Who knows how to control it?
Who knows how to rein it in?

Reborn.
Rebirth.
The sun begins to shine,
the clouds are lifting.

The heart may ache still,
but there's promise,
there's hope left,
a prayer answered.

Undergo
a significant change,
the errors forgivable now.
Don't need the help,
don't need the professional.

Good changes.
Looking forward
not behind.
Everything is set ahead.
The future is promise.
