Never to Return – #poetry #freeverse

Seven days, I blinked

They disappeared

Like the mist of morn

In the cool of autumn

Time collapsed, elapsed

Why is it I missed it?

Was there something,

Something I needed to do?

Forgotten, buried deep

In the folds of my thoughts

Blanked out by the night

As I drift, awake

Falling, into the abyss

Perhaps, perchance

To find what it was

That lingered within

Then suddenly left

Never to return…

No End in Sight – #dark #poetry

#poetry, dark, depression, dorindaduclos.com, lost, Night Owl Poetry, poems, sadness, writing


I know not where it is, I should turn

As thoughts inside, begin to churn

An acid, meant to truly burn

A helpless moment, of which I yearn

*

To cast away, the thoughtless words

From a hateful voice, it’s so absurd

To know that I’m not really heard

My patience, buried, now interred

*

Into hopelessness, I need to fight

To end this horrid, dreadful plight

That I endure, both day and night

For where there seems, no end in sight

Oh, hi there, I wasn’t expecting you

Please excuse me, if you don’t mind

I made my over here, for what, no clue

But, it’s something I hope I can find

Lately, I’m lost, don’t know what to do

I wonder if you’d help me, in kind

Find the thing, blocked from my view

Especially, if I try looking behind

I think I’ve gotten myself into a stew

If I don’t find it soon, I’ll be in a bind

What’s that you say, just buy it new?

Great idea, ah, at last, I can unwind…

 

…Now, what was it I was looking for?
