Dark Sonnet #1 (Louis Toliver Jr - Swartz, LA)


 

Our future is but past lies
I write these words in the dark 
The dream of every child cries
Our angels will never hark 

I lost my due unto you 
Your passion I shall sue
Your heart drunk on gin
We will never love again

Suicide veins wonder: 
Will I die from this ponder?
Bending words is your task 
You can take off hell's mask 

Count backwards from ten
Your heart I shall not win
