Broken Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Such an appropriate word.
Goodbye. Do you know why?
Because we are always saying.
Goodbye. Never Hello.

You come you go always
visiting various associated other people.
Me you never really see
never speak to meandering me!


Thus one day you wonder why
why I listlessly lifelessly leave.
Why you never more will see.
My shadow darken doorway
of your leisurely leave taking.

What is rift real reason why
why I often inwardly cry?
Endlessly gave entire hounded heart
every last lacerated splintered part.


You never even seen endless
days weeks in between.
Autopsy agony as mind watched
abducted memories grey dismal dream.

Held you hosted in hopeless heart
tragic real reason I depart.
Your bare beauty imprisoned me
carried me alas everywhere but free.
Your face could not endure more to see.


I could not wait
for you never
to see to touch me.
Now I cannot stay
I must go away. Forever. Broken.
