(((Endless))) Poem by Theodora (Theo) Onken

Drowning in an endless sea...

Torments of bruising pain...

Gnawing and gnashing upon the heart-

Grinding bitterly in much heated disdain;


Suffocating in too much knowledge...

With coping mechanisms all but spent--

Heart beat 'tis mal-propelled...

Wondering where time went;


Coiled into insomnias nightmare...

Rewound in endless replay...

Oh-the agonies of an aged life...

The harsh realities of today;


Same time tomorrow...!

Same time this day...!

Tortured in circles of ugliness...

Blue skies now turned grey;


Nothing to change a worried life...

Nothing to ease all of the pain--

Drowning in an endless sea...

Dying over and over again;


The Golden Rule
