The Lost Room

by Birdie Houston


What has happened?
Where has happiness and joy located?
Smiles of gratification
Have become hostage in defeated waves of grief,
Love spoken...... has the same tone as hate,
Kisses...now known as sugar candy,
Hearts a game of cards,
 
A flame,
A fire, which comes from a burner,
 
Compassion crippled....
Like an eagle with one wing,
Emotions ...multiply,
Surging haunted tropical heartaches,
Lit rooms................dim
Flowers no longer hold their scent,
The soul, inherit roller coaster beatings,
 
Love administered... like a house with no door,
A home with no windows,
Sun with no rays,
Water with no pour,
Pride has became your focus,
Your humor is anger,
 
Gloom has bloomed,
A frequent routine,
In the lost room
