PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

As a tangle of forbiddens

slip through my fingers

half a tree grows in seconds

and an atom splits the night

If a sparrow's breath can't get by

how will my screams pass

subside as the cliff drags me,

I'm eternally last

Rushes of blood linger

I'm half cold, half too alive

to bear this asymmetry

falling from the midnight sky

My future is

forbidden,

my every move

a curse

My eyes are closing

for better or

for worse

My life is

forbidden,

my breath gone

to its grave

So my screams

pierce the mountains

hoping I can be saved

When I creep through the shadows

I reach for sunlight but then

the bridges to otherworlds

slip past me again

We used to be magic,

we used to be marvelous

Glittering, guiding the lights

we knew they'd follow us

Now I'm the last of the lanterns,

I'm coming undone

I'm straying from the path

letting go of everyone

My future is

forbidden,

my every move

a curse

My eyes are closing

for better or

for worse

My life is

forbidden,

my breath gone

to its grave

So my screams

pierce the mountains

hoping I can be saved
