~my song has lost its words...~

By Zhee

Words have betrayed me -
Severing the rusty shackles
Of these imprisoned thoughts,
Promenading on the crumbling bridges
Burdened with this bitter contemplation.

The pandemonium crescendos –
Breaking the fragile thread
Of my most endeared silence
Leaving the shivering naked truth
Without the sanctuary of speech.

Forsaken – in this amalgamated chaos,
Afflicted with rampant thoughts,
Choking on this putrefying elixir of rectitude
Within this plague ridden emptiness,
Words have abandoned me –

Frenzied thoughts, wail into nothingness,
Haunting, echoing, fumbling, splintering,
Between existence and extinction,
Words have left me –
Fraught and devoid, empty and insaneÂ…

    Superb work you have here. I have the same problem most times, I want to write, to purge my mind from unwanted thoughts but the words won't come out in my writing. It's something most of us share.
