Enough is Enough – A Sonnet 

What thoughts exist inside that head of yours? 

You doubt, you dread, lie motionless in bed. 

Some light or dark or some hapless horrors 

Run round and round like ghosts that aren’t dead. 

Your eye, no warmth, only madness expressed 

But once upon a time, there was a glint 

Of flame and fire and being obsessed 

Possessed by days of ole, a mere short stint 

So lying still on hard mattresses 

In a lonely ghost town run underground 

Breathing heavy with pain that buttresses 

Perfume from senses and music from sound 

In sadness, frozen, black birds catch my eye. 

I flew with cawing crows to crests on high.
