 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Being the Bait!



I cast out my line into the ocean of life
but reeled in only dark monsters
risen from the depths of an all ready tortured mind
I seldom remember sunlight
darkened shadows were everywhere
if pleasure should dare to show its smiling face…?
it would be swallowed whole by the darkness
I was casting myself into an ocean of madness
a swirling whirlpool of deception and greed
that once entered…so very difficult to escape
…being the bait!
