Their Sleighing Hymnals

through balustrade pilasters

Their Sleighing Hymnals 

The corridors were darkened 
with the demure of shadowy thoughts.
They rose as if they were life forces 
breathing into the vacancy of air.
But they were merely mast deceptions 
of soul starved messages; Hailing to their souls 
the songs of pendulous grief…

Covering the lifeless balms of concrete chills 
with requiem’s promise: A mahogany morgue 
of bathing terminals is full of irrepressible beliefs…

Aligning emotionally in dirking rows for the mortally deceased,
while they needed to plunge into bated waters near remerging regret;
Fused with crippling questions in the dark of their private disease
the crowd grew wearily as haggard truths approached the pillared exit…

A steeple to their fear 
stopped them in their tracks…(with mourners tears) 
as they looked upon the anguish of death faces 
with mental imprisonments.

The fortressing gallows gave recumbent light 
cloaking camouflaged discretions 
into the liberation of freedom 
walking past the bodies of sorrow’s threnody… 

Gazing upon the porcelain lain basins 
as the water turns distilling warmth into coldness,
and the bodies of unjustifiable life voices scream 
echoic sorrows…down the lament halls;
I stood alone beneath the witchery 
of shelter’s unknown necromancy 
as their sleighing hymnals rang ominous death knells
into my soul…

Deeply retrospective words that linger in the mind as we contemplate their essence.

SAD...WHEN ONE DOESN'T REALIZE THAT THEY ARE NEVER ALONE AT ALL...FOR WHEN WE PASS THROUGH THE WATERS 'HE' GOES WITH US...AND...WHEN ONE HAS NOT COME INTO THE KNOWLEDGE THAT 'ALL' THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD OUR EXPERIENCES BECOME A ROCK, INSTEAD OF A STEPPING STONE...THE CARES OF LIVING WILL SWALLOW US, IF WE DON'T 'CLOSE OUR EYES' AND SEE 'HIM'. A WELL CRAFTED 'CAPE'...FILLED WITH EMOTION AND THE HARSH REALITY OF LIFE WITHOUT...LIGHT. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS & FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Umm, I'm speechless? You really killed it this time, damn!! This is tremendous, so masterfully composed, so emotive, so visual, so art of poetry in every line, every stanza!
