VANQUISHED


 

 

I see it there bold before me

In every syllable and sound

That glares and reveals clear

 

The softness has vanished

The hope and anguish missing

That wrapped my every dream

 

Not that dreams have come true

Nor that the destination reached

Neither has emptiness diminished

 

Yet a hard covering embalms me so

That even the raging pain within

Smothers, and rages no more

 

Molten coals no longer glow

Embers are cold ash, waiting

To be raked and emptied with trash

 

A clean grate or a clean slate

Whatever it may be called

What remains, is that I exist not at all…
