Eclipse Poem by soren Barrett

The sadness I feel, I can not reveal, nor do I wish it known
Burning tears contain all my fears and melt me to the bone
Like molten steel, welding lips, to conceal words that would flow
The devil sneers, a demon jeers, but hell I already know

My head throbs, involuntary sobs, turn to uncontrollable spasms
My body's shaking, convulsions quaking, all in sorrow's chasms
Hope it robs, my gullet bobs, I fall into despair
My breath it's taking, my will it's breaking, no one will care

To gain relief, from unquenchable grief, I look to a new day
Night will clear, the last tear and chase misery away
The hour's thief makes life so brief, but love never dies
The sun will cheer and us steer, on to brighter skies
