Elixir For The Heart Poem by Jason BARNARD

Elixir For The Heart

Rating: 5.0


It's light all night
It's dark all day
Ice for blood
Life slips away

The seconds stretch
Unending wait
The black dog snarls
I suffocate

Then laughter lights
My darkened day
The black dog turns
He slinks away

And 'though this joy
Is swiftly passed
The sweet elixir
Heals my heart
