a poem | dark waters

in the dark waters

caught a glimpse of a light

a candle flickered deep

the muck overcame it

submerged it
came up for air
the sky too had plunged
deep

a poem | 3. something (let misery in)

something let misery in
let the doom become unbearable
took over pulled under the
light submerged
into a gloom
and there was no rising

a poem | 2. something (died)

something died
a light went out
into darkness the spirit was plunged
there was no night vigil
the mourners did not know
what they had lost

a poem | 1. something (broke)

something broke
pieces strewn everywhere
where they can’t be found
hidden in crevices
eaten by demons
washed away by tears
