Lost In The Laughter Poem by Eric Cockrell

Lost In The Laughter

Rating: 5.0


the shell of a snail
long since departed....
ghosts whisper, cannot touch!

layers of anger
devouring from within,
till nothing is left but dust.

flesh cries out for flesh,
old or young, doesnt matter.
water seeks itself, stone is stone.

a lover, a small fire
too far away to name....
and God's face is lost

in the laughter!

This is truly artistic. Every line is a gem in itself. I could get lost in the mysteries here. My hat's off to you, Mister! (smile)

A faded dream comes to me. I can see the fickle irony. What is it that we believed would truly happen? Were we lying to ourselves the entire time? It is in the laughter that it becomes contagious and we suddenly forget? Is it that the intention. Something we prefer not to mention. With lord gone, have we been abandoned? The ship sinking we soon get off. Into to the life boats it's the only way to survive. The water is to cold to just jump off. Still some will with a fear of dying. I can still hear the children crying. Oh mercy me, In this laughter please oh please let me forget. Thanks for the inspiring poem...
