Velvet Blue Dreams.... Poem by DEEP DARK SOUL POET

There is a part of me I cannot tell
About the dark inside I know so well…
It survives so deep in me within
Where to start, I can’t even begin…

Living within my velvet blue dreams
Stitched in with silver at the seams
Embossed with wishes made of gold
Now worn threadbare as I grow old

The warm embrace with comfort galore
Wears thinner as the tighter I wore
But a hole started opening in the ground
As I got lost walking around and around

Now the thorny walls grow ever higher
As the hole deepens with all lost desire
Dark and damp as I find myself lying here
Scrawling to clutch whatever I held dear

Memories pooling at my saddening feet
Where my cold heart and swirling mind meet
Feelings are lost where they got left behind
Reality and fears meld in stories past and unkind

From the bottom of this dark and dank well
I see light fleeing from my eyes like an eerie spell
Body broken and hopes are all but forgotten
Flesh drips from my bones, putrid and rotten

There is no escape as the walls are slimy and sheer
No point in screaming, there’s no one to hear
At last my inner peace I have finally found
As I become one with this earthily ground…

In the end, here I reluctantly lie in this shadowy grave
My bones will the bottom of my resting place pave
Happy that I am again returning into the earthen loop
As my trusting friends the worms turn me to soup…
