The Doldrums Stare Poem by Luke Arthur

</></>
The doldrums stare, bereft in silent meditation
Icy cold spheres of stone lay heavy in my gut
My eyelids wide open, whilst my heart it slams shut
But, if I let you in, you’ll only hurt me again, my love

The doldrums stare under gray dripping skies
Runs a slow muddy brook on this weeping earth
Ho, darkness of thoughts, manifest thy selves
Show me a way to escape thee, my love

The doldrums stare, who out there really care
For the mans lost love and the struggle he bear
Kick the chair and float in midair till the rope
takes your breath and your love takes your death.
