A poem spawned by the reading & inspiration of a book written in verses.
When the night whispers
          cool
  clear
                      dead

I will make my escape
see
                hear
    dread

The walls of stone sway and swing
                          lonely
        poor
                    hopeless thing

They shatter my heart
      burn
                  tear
  leave a mark

Placed in silence to forever wait
    a name
                        a face
            a date

How long does the suffering
      crash over
                              me like
    a wave

Light fills my vision
        a sliver
    like
                      a ribbon

Perfect stillness and crystal clear
        so
                  do I
    belong here?
