S.A.D.
November gray
drizzles and drips
a thick pithy gloom.
early nightfall
slaps a chill
across a face of stone.
drug fed sleep
hovers in wait
over shiver-shackled bones,
as brooding eyes,
drenched in dread,
curse the scourging onslaught of
WINTER
Style / type:
Free verse

I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words:
S.A.D.... acronym for seasonal affective disorder

Never heard,
Never heard it called S.A.D, but your poem is good enough to make me feel it. Regards Roscoe...
Roscoe Llane,
Religion will rip your faith off, and return
for the mask of disbelief that's left.

What Is SAD?
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), is a type of depression that occurs during the winter months. Milder forms of SAD might be called the "winter blues."

I felt the sunbeams on my face,
They had chilled as the earth turned to distant realms.
I became a sufferer of SAD.
Yet my inner smile and memories kept me warm.
Or that extra blanket I had put on.
In a few weeks the days will become longer
My thoughts will become stronger.
And the glow of the sun will not send shivers to me.
I shall await the first leaves on the trees,
The nights clear and warm.
Then I shall laugh and become strong.
Yours hoping it wont seem long,
Ian.T

Doors to perception.
ultraviolet lights...
we need it
our pineal gland
no pill for that
we mourn the sun our bodies
so it goes away like an old lover
and we wait its return
its arms
to bathe in its love...
thank you
