rain drips
from my fingertips
into this
ominous
reflecting pool of sorrow
the footprint of tomorrow
each and every day
passes away
with no regard
for the last remaining bard
follow through the dark
run your hand across the mark
stop and stay
while i draw your breath away
this breeze is strong
but never lasts long
stab through
to the heart of you
and never think
your head will sink
bellow the sand
take my hand
and watch as feathers float
from words I wrote
to cradle falls
and pad the walls
empty bottles
are perfect models
of distruction
a factory for production
of fear
that you can't clear
from your mind
search but never find
a sign of life
slice it with a knife
and watch it run
you use to be the one
that I relied on
but now you're gone
shifty voices in my head
want me dead
so I agree
and decree
that I will try
force your eyes to cry
a million tears
over many years
while shadows haunt my days
no one stays
and I face the unknown
alone
Dear Jonathan, I just took the time to read this poem and I have absolutely fallen in love with it. It's fantastic! The rhyming is incredibly as is the rhythm. Excellent piece and look forward to reading more!
