SUFFERING poem prompt

In his book of dreams he sees her

and he tells himself it's a sure sign

but the suffering that haunts him 

is a burden they can no longer bear

and his darkness seeps in until 

she's adrift, cast off in a flood, 

the surcease of the sea 

relentlessly pounding the shore

offers little solace. 

                   White foam horses

madly galloping on the strand, 

hell bent for the lip of the whirlpool.

The edge of the known world.

PADI write a suffering poem. A person or animal in the poem could be suffering. The poem itself could be suffering.
