PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Day is fading

Still the lights are low

Turning in my belly

The roots are wanting to show

Butterflies and moths

Are my new best friends

The earth is flat

I dare you to walk to the end



Flee from this cage

Put your wings back on

I swear it won’t take you

Half as long

To put up those walls

Keep the world out

If you just close off

And shut that mouth.



Cringing in the corner

With one shoe on

I’m tempted to stay there

I won’t wake up at dawn

I’ll fight off the demons

The best that I can

But promises are weak

In a merciless land.
