sorrow flows by anelephantcant
Click here to hear the poem read aloud:
my sorrow widens like a river in torment
as it flows under a bridge of my tears
and sighs like the wind in the darkness
dispensing the seeds of my fears
deep waters crash upwards in confusion
dragged screaming in dread from the well
unmoving horses gallop like thunder
around the pain of the coloured carousel
the questions contaminate the interrupts
inhuman voices soon grow bolder
nervous faces flit from eye to eye
finding chaos at last in the order
the writer lies sleepless in anguish
staring up through the nightmare above
the poetry that crawls from my heartache
is written in the blood of our love
