Love Poem: The Dungeon

Written by: Kenneth Fordham

The Dungeon

The dungeon walls,
Closing in,
I know not where I am going,
But I know where I have been.

Thru the windows of hell,
No light shining,
Not a soul to tell,
My heart pining.

For your love,
I am longing,
The morning dove,
He is calling.

Yet deeper,
Into the depths of hell, I go,
The flames flicker,
As I drown in my sorrow.

You,
And only you can save me,
Lift me up with your love,
But you are too angry,

What did I do,
I will never know,
My love was true,
I tried to show you so.

But you would not listen,
Too wrapped in yourself,
You lost all passion,
My heart, left on the shelf.

Now with each second,
The deeper I go,
Darker and dampened,
Red flames and yellow.

Such extreme heat,
Comes from below,
I feel defeat,
No hope to bestow.
