Dawn comes creeping upward, straddling with all her
tendrils the dark mountain so terribly near my sweet
but now quaking refuge of wood and stone and glass.
I peer through the panes that give onto a landscape of
horror that to some is pristine but to me is a reminder
that he was swallowed up by a wood black and cruel.
He calls out faintly, begging I rescue him from the jail
holding him fast against all escape, but who am I but
a grieving father who searches for a son forever lost.
Sleep Eludes Me ...

Hello CoCo
Just a quick word to say that I really enjoy reading your posts. I’m not good with expressing my thoughts/feelings, but others do it for me. I love reading books, love poetry and find something soothing in melancholy words. Anyway, I really appreciate your talent and hope you keep on posting more often (but still get some sleep)!

Dear Sinedie:
A belated welcome to the forum and thanks for your kind words.
What I write is from the gut - not much intelligence involved. Guess that's just me! In any event, I'm pleased that what churns inside can be put to paper and enjoyed by a few who relate to melancholia and the like.
BTW: the supposed lack of sleep the narrator harps on is a sort of literary device. I certainly get my share of zzzzzzzzzzzs!
All the best,
CoCo
