THE DAY OF RELEASE
What a bore this life has become.
I should let it come all undone.
Run and hide,
Stay away from it some,
For I cannot find
Anywhere in it fun.
To my doctor I will run
For the help and peace,
For with his help I
Hope for the pain to cease.
To lose my wife,
My job,
And my Home,
I have nothing left but
My phone.
Oh how I long for the
Day of release.

SHE HAS LOST THE KEY
Trapped,
It digs it cold
Talons,
Ripping apart,
To death it bleeds.
Alone it must be,
No one can help,
Not even her now,
For she has lost
The key.

A SUDDEN HURRICANE
During a stormy passage,
A sudden hurricane
Struck without warning.
Tossed overboard by the
Giant wave,
Lost in an ocean alone,
My ship sailed on,
On without me.
Must swim to survive,
Or die.
But I am tired,
Very tired.
What floating objects
I find sink,
Giving only a monents
Rest,
And I fear I will find
No more.
But I must survive,
I must try.
Maybe my ship will
Return or even a new
One will surface,
Surface on the horizon
With hope,
Hope of a renewed life.
But I pray not long
Must I wait,
For again I grow tired
And weary.

USELESS WORDS
Warmth,
Feelings,
Understanding,
Lost to coldness and
Misunderstanding.
A man is torn to shreds.
A woman in shreds,
Returned to wholeness.
Still differences grow
Ever larger.
Educated,
Uneducated,
DAMN be it all,
Useless words fall
Everywhere.

AND TIME STOPS
Time is dragging,
Dragging so slowly.
Weeks hang like months,
Days like weeks and
Time seems to stop.
Why here?
Go elsewhere.
Time is cruel.
Life is cruel.
Love is the cruelest
Of them all.

DRAGONS TEETH
Of bones and dragons teeth,
These things I now find sweet.
The path down is steep and fast,
Upon its way I cannot last.
To slip and fall will end it all,
And no more will I ever call.
All things ours are now my own,
What is yours you can now hone.
All is done, over and through,
What was wanted I wish could have grew.
Living now has become a hell,
Tis like living at the bottom of a well.
A well alive with slime and muck,
Damn this place where I am now stuck.

HERE IN THE QUIET
Here in the quiet,
Birds sing to themselves.
Alone at last,
Without anything of
Hers around,
Maybe peace can find me.
Only my thoughts to
Ponder and drugs to
Kill the pain.
Once again sleep comes
To my aid.
Let me sleep now,
Later I will try again.
Maybe then I can heal
Myself.

LIFE OF MISERY
Oh great powers that
That do not seem to be,
I hate this life of misery.
Why can’t I live one
That is cheery.
Since she left me on
My own to live,
My life and days are
Like a sieve,
So full of holes,
That everything just
Runs out.
Everything in this world,
I now doubt.
I don’t want to go
On without her,
But,
If she returns,
Will I ever be sure,
Sure of her love,
Will it always stay or
Again, will she run away?
My mind is now so
Unstable it would snap,
Just like a stretched cable,
Tearing everything to shreds,
Covering all with bright reds.

STREETS OF YESTERDAY
Walking the old streets of yesterday,
The days before we met and married,
Days thought of as the happiest of my youth,
Now knowing that none of my days were happy.
The best and the worst were spent with you.
The streets are still as empty now as before.
Dead is the past,
Dead here and now are also.
Looking forward into time,
I see everything dead.
Maybe not for others,
A few do enjoy life.
Morbid is my mind,
For what still lives inside,
Longs to join the rest in its death.
C.D.RANSOM
IS THERE NO ORPHEUS?
Though in Hell I
Thought I lived,
It was but purgatory,
Self-inflicted.
Freed at last to go my
Own way,
I slipped and fell into
The Devil’s waiting arms.
With great joy he
Beheld another soul to
Torment for eternity.
Is there no Orpheus to
Come and charm the
Devil’s heart and set me
Free?
Be there away to slip
The Devil’s grasp?
Bide your time and
Suffer well,
For a day will come
When you can flee.
Take no false chances,
Only to return.
Find the true path and
Never, never look back.
For if you do,
All will be lost.
