Dark Sonnet #2
Ominous storm clouds in my head
Unspoken words need to be said
Under siege of hostility
And I am ready to break free.
I fall to pieces in the night
Fighting through waves of dark and light
Sinking deep in turbulent sea
And I am ready to break free.
Washed up on the rock laden shore
I find the strength and close this door
A world of promise waits for me
And I am ready to break free.
Ominous storm clouds in my head,
And I am ready to break free.

Magnificent… These are dark days.
Great poem, C.B.
Yes they are, my friend….with COVID and all the unrest in the country it is very dark. Hoping for brighter days! ❤
Just what I needed to see and hear today – thank you my friend!
Thank you, friend!!!!! So wonderful to see you here. It’s been a very difficult year and 2021 isn’t starting out too well with COVID-19 spiking and all the unrest!! Love ya! ❤
It will soon blow over.
We can only hope… it gets overwhelming at times!
Writing it out, is always a good way to clear it out. Well done as always.
Thank you, Rebecca. Writing always helps me purge the darkness and stress. I know you can relate! Hugs ❤
And this rainy day here just adds to the darkness.
Here’s hoping for brighter, sunny days for us all! ❤
No apologies please: Always enjoy it when you go dark
Thank you, taking a walk on the dark side is very therapeutic for me! ❤
Love the way you express yourself Colleen. There is a catharsis in your words and their process. It heals us all. xo
