Darkness Etched In The Heart Poem by Alfred Ramos

It was a windowless sky
As it cried, it made me cry

My coffee is growing cold
As lonely thoughts unfold

In the distance, gloom looms
As a summer wind pushes it brooms

Sweeping away a kaleidoscope of leaves
Making match stick shadows of the trees

A deeper darkness is etched in the heart
A dread of which I wanted no part

A season is about to change
Dreams about to rearrange

What was once daily routine
Is now an infernal machine

A mine field of disturbing thoughts
The gut unable to unravel knots

And now the storm is about to begin
Dark skies rumble from within

I failed to look inside of this two- way mirror
Afraid to face an inevitable fear

That one day the sun would not shine
And one day you would not be mine
