Shed. Poem by Darius Burns

This was written on February 25th,2013. It is the first of a poetry collection I've started, which will be called 'The Black Lodge.'

It is personally a 45 poem collection, or will be 45 poems, that tell the story of a man who has exiled himself to a lodge in the forest to comfort himself of the trauma convulsed by his dead spouse. Overall, this is taking place sometime during a 'spiritual proclamation' (you will understand later) , and every spirit is taken away from humans, including good and bad, to the core of the Earth...Blackwater Park. (Credit to Opeth!)

Only, there is one problem. This man, whom no one knows of, has been somehow living his life in the forest, everyday, stuck in a sort of trance in which he blocks his emotions out with more 'necessary' matters, including hunger and entertainment.

When the spirits come to 'The Black Lodge, ' they were intended to hide away, deep beneath the ground...
Or were supposed to.

Deep beneath the lodge...
Deep beneath Blackwater Park...

But instead, deep inside of a man.


So what this poem, 'Shed' is about, is basically the fastest spirit to strike, or Death, reaching Blackwater Park and instilling himself in this man, and he begins to write. I will be speaking from many P.O.V's...sometimes from the man, sometimes from the voice of the spirits, and sometimes in third persons :) It all will depend on what is happening at the current time, and sometimes, it will focus on what is actually going on in the world, or what has, or how the forest is behaving, etc.

One last thing. This will be emotional. Very emotional. No bland words.
