A Bridge To Your Precipice Poem by Eila Mahima Jaipaul

A Bridge To Your Precipice

Rating: 5.0


night envelopes my pain and sorrow.
moon's light fails to reach even this place
there is no reprieve
in this vacuum
where I asked a question
with no reply.
so I'll continue on in silence
building bridges to the edge of your precipice
where we meet one day
to work out how to deny this love.
all the while I'll
believe less and less
in mercy, compassion,
and hope.

" I'll believe less and less in mercy, compassion and hope." Marvellous, albeit poignant

A bridge in order to reach a precipice: the feeling of utter hopelessness is embodied in this paradoxic image.
