Loneliness Covers Me Like A Tomb

Posted by admin on March 19, 2011

Loneliness covers me like a tomb.
In darkness I sit though light
Scatters the shadows in this room.
The horrors of Me fill the night.

I, only I, alone in full view,
With weapon in hand, mouth closed,
Hoping a voice, not a muse,
Will call, will save me from supposed

Dread I do not understand or love.
Stay my hand! Come sanity!
I cannot return to the above;
I dread the eternal calamity!

Keep me!  Hold me! Stave
Wretched mind darts against time!
I have no time; naught to save
For imagined moments sublime.

No help has come. I am alone.

Sandy Walls – A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on October 7, 2009

Sandy walls built high to protect
the onslaught of wrecked senses.
Psychotic waves restless in the night
Do little to help the granite shield.
Open the gate.  No!  The portal is shut.
Feelings lash out and are crushed
By iron whips of self consciousness.
Alone.
Not alone.  Not single, not complete.
The sandy walls wish to fall,
Threaten privacy, but are held.
Fear bars the way, cold impdiments
To continuity.
Alone.
Beaten down, the foundation
Lingers still to haunt the one
Who made them fall.  Dark rings to
Remind how much it hurt to be
Free.  But never escaped the
Chains of fear.  Walls do not hold him
Alone.
