Deep into depression
a lacuna.
Like a footprint in my heart.
Reminder of past feeling the steep of my mind
Sometimes that ghost won’t stay buried and echos in bones
Muffled only by the sound of blood roaring thru fear
Such a curdled cold it stalls my breath
and calls to death that’s nigh upon me
How I try to tell myself i’m worthy;
‘n holes are empty places with need of floods that flow for good
would fill y soul with awe.
In friends who show me care and kind
To close the space within my heart, t’is my will to seek to say
“omnia vincit amor
…to find the truth, the certainty,
that love conquers all

    A lovely poem. The spoken word didn’t really match the punctuation. Was better listening than reading. Could be the start of something 🙂
