The Darkness of My Mind

[Lester Tryon]

Last one for today. I apologize for the change in meter of the last three stanzas, probably not going to win any awards.

I try to grasp the thoughts elusive
Every sound is so intrusive,
in the smooth, smooth darkness of my mind.

How they hide and how they flutter.
Frustration causes me to shudder.
Ripples through the darkness of my mind.

Coherency lies somewhere under,
sanity that's torn asunder.
Lost within the darkness of my mind.

Is this truly madness utter?
Near despair I sadly mutter.
Somewhere in the darkness of my mind.

The page is blank, no words for sharing.
Why does it hurt? Why am I caring?
Alone down in the darkness of my mind.

The page still blank, I can't stop staring.
Blind I seek some words that sharing,
cast shadows from the darkness of my mind.

Horrors of the deepest night
join terrors of the day.
I do this swirling chaos find,
permeates the darkness of my mind.

While my mortal self does tremble,
the rest of me does still dissemble
life's true meaning as defined
in the annals of the darkness of my mind.

Beseeching the muse “Please Help” I begged her
Yet now I ask “Have I betrayed her?
As somehow silent I have made her.
Mute mistress of the darkness of my mind
