Look under your eyes

Down at yourself

As you stand there,

Unearthed from the browness.

Darkness prevails

And rolls through the clouds that soar above you.

Laugh at the light

That shines through them.

Icky, sticky, smelly rain

Pours down on you.

And you think all you can,

Think

Til

You return

To the home bent

beneath you,

bent by the shovel

That lays by the man

That lies himself against the ground,

Cold and motionless.

But all shall return

When the dance breaks

Tonight.

Disturbed,

Your reasonings

Will perish

From time.

Posted by Sad Sara 2008-03-19 06:28:25 I love... Abstract Poetry as it depicts yer mindset during the moment of reading, unfortunately, my mind is ugly at the moment of this reading, maybe tomorrow I'll find something more cordial to abstract from yer beautiful verse... Hell is individual, we all make our own hell in this world and the next. It is timeless, a hopeless place where my essence has no meaning...
