Limbo came to haunt my dreams
In iridescent blues and greens
Tiny lightning strikes my synapses
Holding me hostage
Convoluted climaxes
###################
Escape, futile while chained in place
Bogging down further during the race
The ball is heavy
The weight stays still
Thoroughly testing all my will
####################
Reflection I see in the mirror of time
Contorted and strained is every line
My voice is silent
I try to yell
Never shall I elude this hell
#####################
Breaking point, I shall not die
Some glimmer of hope touches my eye
I’m still here
Upon my bed
No longer asleep to wake up dead
Kevin Parish 
This is a great poem, Kevin!
P.S. I don’t know if it’s only me but I see your some of your words gluing together, Kevin.

I went out and looked, but I didn’t see anything sticking together. I see this from time to time with others, but usually only on my phone.

Ha… Yeah, my wife made a similar comment. I can get very, very dark, but I’m not sure that’s what the audience wants… Maybe, I should dabble and let some seep out there… Just a thought!

If I knew what audiences wanted, I’d have more followers and wouldn’t be so afraid to submit things to journals!

Thank you! We took awhile with a few hits and misses, but God’s timing is always right! Then again, we’ve known one another for more than 50 years. Ha…
