The Web Poetry Corner - John William McGrath III - Heaven Lost
Heaven Lost
by
John William McGrath III
It almost seems to me a brand new thread
When born to this earth I now am dead
What once was life I fear is gone from me
No vistage of the grace that made me free
Not only have I died but live in hell
No one believes me when I tell
My tale of ecstasy far beyond this grime
Of life and laughter from another time
I fear I may seek to end it all
For from the highest glory I did fall
And here I wander in dispair
Groan and moan and pull my hair
The wondrous things you say just cause me pain
I just have to get back there again
But should I take this life It may be worse
I may then be forced to relive this curse
Calm down my self! I must regroup somehow
Go within and make the past be now
Listen to the self I know I AM
Somehow merge with my eternal diagram
NEXT?
