I sit alone under the sky,
My soul echoes my heart's cry.
Footprints lead nowhere in the sand,
Cold reaches out its opening hand.
I accept and filled with chill,
I shiver now, numb with thrill.
The night too long, I canot hope
I wonder, how will I cope?
The beach is empty, no smile of joy,
Only dark is left - ready to destroy.
The waves still crash and thrash and beat,
Against me now, as I drown in defeat.
Brave lights shine far, far away,
Meek stars glitter - too scared to play.
Time walk away, leaving me behind,
Who knew Time to be so unkind?
I refuse to have my soul bought,
Bug gasp with breath so short.
For a single moment there is no light,
I sit alone on this moonless night.
My soul echoes my heart's cry.
Footprints lead nowhere in the sand,
Cold reaches out its opening hand.
I accept and filled with chill,
I shiver now, numb with thrill.
The night too long, I canot hope
I wonder, how will I cope?
The beach is empty, no smile of joy,
Only dark is left - ready to destroy.
The waves still crash and thrash and beat,
Against me now, as I drown in defeat.
Brave lights shine far, far away,
Meek stars glitter - too scared to play.
Time walk away, leaving me behind,
Who knew Time to be so unkind?
I refuse to have my soul bought,
Bug gasp with breath so short.
For a single moment there is no light,
I sit alone on this moonless night.
this is really good. I love your diction and use of personification :)
ReplyDeleteSimone this is the third one of your poems I am reading on the blog and I really like what you do with words. Please send some more pieces through and maybe you have like, an essay or a longer piece that would be cool to read.
