My mind slips away to the canyon of tortured souls It is a solemn place between death and " for whom the bell tolls" Its seems a barrier for colour to foray as all is black or a particular shade of grey There is no night or sun of day Only that eternal shade of gloom they say Joy and happiness have all faded to a somber tone of despair With hearts that are sorely jaded Never by choice enter there Even the water has become brackish No temptation to sip this stew Drip from your lips..its actually blackish Or perhaps even a darker hue The souls cry their crystal tears And with time they attain a new guise Their penance done subdues their fears After the drops have made the pond rise And with conviction swim to a new plateau Making room for new despondent ghouls within the grey canyon far below of lost and tormemted souls
I have entered and swam back too As a tortured soul perhaps... have you?

Imaginative and creative dark poetry! An interesting journey to the realms of the black canyon of lost & tormented souls and despondent ghouls. Thanks for the trip boycharm!

Dark, yes, very well written. It is a good "picture" of one of those moments where we loose balance between mind and heart. I believe we have to think what we feel and feel what we think (Unamuno) and once we are balanced there... where the mind wanders the heart is. Thank you for sharing this Boysch
