As I walk along the broken road
there are pitfalls,
too many to mention,
to wide to walk around
or step over,
so I fall in.
Spiraling down the very depths
of my nightmare,
I see brimstone.
It hurts for the love once lived,
hungering for passion
that is humanity.
Before I hit bottom in my ascension,
a tornado of emotion
wakes me up.
I spiral upward on a humane wind
one of intimate mercy.
I drag myself up.
Like a dying man in the desert
to an oasis in my soul,
I gasp for air,
touch the face of our God,
as my parched lips
speak the words. . . . .
"I am a free man on a broken road
it didn't defeat me
I defeated it."
Timothy Michael DiVito c2021

I have over 1000 poems published in all. I also have a poetry page on Wix.com entitled anemotionaljourney.com. I also have written a Science Fiction/Fantasy novel entitled "The Blue Sphere" and I am currently working on three other books at the present time. The first is entitled "The Angel and the Witches, the second is "Once Upon A Halloween" and the third is "The Devil's Playground".
