This Blog is dedicated to Dr. Beth Crachiolo, now the chair of the English and Theatre Department of Berea College. Beth is truly a wonderful person, and one hell of a teacher! For whatever reason, she seems to believe in my aptitude as a writer and has made it perfectly clear, on more than one occasion, that to not write would be a waste. So I am trying to do something I've never attempted before. Starting today, April 20, 2010, I will try very hard to post at least one new poem a day for 1 year. I'm sure most of them will be utter crap, but you never know when the muse might strike. Please feel free to respond to any post at anytime, I value constructive comments.

Limbo

the darkness never does come fast enough
there always seems to be time for reflection
time to see
time to discover
time to feel
when what is desired most is the cold empty arms of the night
secure in the abyss, blanketed in the numb whispers
nothing to see
nothing to touch
nothing to hurt
twilight holds you there, trapped
between the ravages of the light and the anesthetizing night
the darkness never comes fast enough
though I wait on razor's edge
praying for release
hoping to forget
