 CAVUM My heart’s grown cold, moribund, solid as wood; I’m sedated by remorse, hidden by an obtuse hood. Speech is stammered, jagged, a bit off line; words are hollow, they’ve lost their rhyme. A lone nimbus shrouds my frail silhouette, silence piques my focus on an ire I chose to forget. Solemn, gothic tides rise to suffocate, drowning past memories I can no longer relate. Windswept voices echo harsh, discrepant chords, sandwiched with gloom, often felt, never ignored. My brittle soul is weary, a dim, vacuous cavity not stylishly profound nor ringing of any clarity. Through a murky mist, silver threads beamed a world of loving chimes I’ve often dreamed. Affection I now seek, not a token award, fulfillment’s my goal, its my just reward. ·······  ·······Give thanks for your new friends of today, but never forget the warm hugs of your yesterdays.
