"Essence and Remorse"

Paul's new poem is dark and mysterious...and well written.  - poetheart 04/22/03

The shadows are lonely tonight
For all they have are themselves
Casting doubt and leaving no resolution
All I have is the pity of this moment
A glance like no other

The stairwell twists away from cognition
And retreating moments pause
This gloomy room an indolent mood
Help not with their silence

I’m a creature and am yearning
For the capacity of light unspoken
Hallowed beams shut out
And wakening ideas laid to rest

Clever I might add
That silhouette fragmented
Hiding in all the corners
Deep moments, words unspoken
