My Fine, Dark Friend Poem by Kevin Maroney

My fine, dark friend
Known to one and all as
Deep and Depression,
Guild and Negativity,
Anger and Sadness,
Even at times, insanity!
However, when light, fairweather
Dreams of greatness
Spewn of glorious wonder
And tales of Hope,
Fail you,
You have always been deep
In my heart.
To console me,
To nurture me,
Like some wonderful cyst
To which I have become addicted.
The wonderful feeling of shouting at the sky,
To whittle away the hours and
Blot out your problems.
The glorious, generous crimson mist
of Anger and
The wonderful pit of black,
Which I may fall into, lost forever,
Forever
Lost
Forever feeling
Relief.
