No Escape Poem by Barry Middleton

No Escape

Rating: 5.0


There are shadows in my mind,
vanished lovers and lost friends.
There are hard and heartless demons,
aimless dreams and blind dead ends.

In crumbling memory's recall,
are faded faces, and the traces
that time and age at last erases,
till the loneliness becomes a pall.

There is silence in the darkness
regret and prayer cannot relieve,
as I look back without salvation,
on shadows I forever grieve.

This is so beautifully expressed. You have put your feelings into words with so much ease n clarity. Life leaves a lot of marks on our memory. We have no escape from past. This is an absolute 10 for me.
