David E. Barnes "Shadows Alive In Sun"
© 23 July 2003 David E. Barnes
A Poet's Corner Original Poet! 
In solitude my nights are a failure 
but then, so what?
 
Long I have been damaged - crippled. 
 
Unsure that I can continue to fight
Unsure if I will be able to persevere all day --
days, typical tomorrows.
 
I am the bloodless battlefield of life 
and I weep like a child 
for the past.
 
One thing I fight for 
is my little bit of inward peace 
 
Although desire maybe dead. 
 
I am still a man --
weather-beaten windswept 
out-waiting pain.
 
Yet sunlight continues to filter on -- 
drizzle creeps down clothes forming puddles 
beneath my shoes.
 
I must confess 
I have become fatigued over the years 
my autumn-love. 
 
It is enough you are within 
as often I am beaten.
