Anxious Heart Poem by Mark Nixon Legaspi

I feel the essence of sad tomorrow
Baffling heart of memory in despair
The derelict past, my mournful sorrow
Deep within light the darkness of nightmare

Life is ambiguous or apparent
A billet-doux for antidote of fear
Abbreviate man's life to transcendent
For fruit of heaven to merit with tear

The face of the devil smile upon me
Not happiness; but corrupted water
Dubious response for interminably
The fate decided for all that matter

Disconsolate life's fortune of my part
Forever sleep in the meadows of heart
