"Shadow Of My Former Self"
  by Bud Edward


I can't see the real me in here
cold and grey

like a whisp, disappearing in fear
I can't stay

I'm afraid and tossed by waves unseen
drowning now

time is god, omnipotent, unclean
broken vow

who I was is shunning me lightly
it still hurts

who I am is gripping me tightly
let me go

tears won't wash the dirt on me away
cut it out

well of tears and sealed in fears explode
I can't feel

darkness calls, a black sun ascendant
make me strong

weakness flees. I'm not that repentant
I am gone

hauntingly beautiful. what's true is this : poets eat shadows and demon days and release them as the core jewels of infinite beauty and the wild hysteria all seek to confine but only poets harnass the abilities. i hope your journey begins somewhere deep and dark but ascends to some unspeakable zenith where all divinity flourishes. great write
