Description ::[Reminders]::

Eyelids covered thick with dust
teardrops etch a curving path.
Raise a hand to wipe the rust
tearfalls loud as siren blasts.

I feel the darkness close in on me
failures echo in my mind
pain assaulting all my senses
stumbling on I try to hide.

Hear the sirens call my name
and feel their icy hands embrace
my teardrops form a frozen guard
and feel my heart begin to race.

Sins from past expressions clawing
long to sink their hooks again.
I smile and I walk right through them
each the substanance of wind.

Forgiveness brings such healing peace
the only tring that can atone.
My sins all left behind and I
remind myself I'm not alone...

A glorious poem. As low as one feels "the sinking" in your wonderful poetry, you always at least, allude to escape, forgiveness and salvation. And it is a very pleasing thing. I am so glad you post here. Excellent work.

YES! I've been checking back and waiting for you to submit more writing I was getting worried there for a bit. hehehehehehe
I've written many poems about feeling alone. Generally, ofcoarse, they end somewhere along the lines of this.. looking around and seeing that not to be true. Must say, I do feel the same way as you about a lot of things. Your writing says it all.
Take care, man. I hope to see you writing some more too!
