It pains me to know

My vivacity isn't burnished well

Under the bushes of my long-lost fantasies.

I found myself pondering on a stone

That perished from under my foot, it seems.

Oh, where has my life wondered to?

Where was my passion?

Death under the silver moon

Coaxed me to realize what

Destroyed the wind's cornering

Strikes.

I resented the sun and its

Shine on my sensitive integument

And tore away the pleasures

That brushed through my cogent senses.

Everything bit the dust when I set afoot,

On this desolate island.

And maybe, perhaps, it'll stay that way,

For eternity and forever more,

Death now a key away from paradise.

Posted by chaabuk 2008-08-09 13:03:04 Message What message is the wind carrying to you and from you. The vivid description of nature is beautiful. Even the sun seems to burn bright. Death may not claim you. Wonderful. + Report this comment
