I heard a sound of unknown origin
which reverberated afar the hills.
The sound of echoes,
...shrieking
from the nearby forest stills;
their Polaroid a flickering with sparks.
My kitchen burst aflame,
my floor collapsed again
...and the floor came following after.
With quickened feet I fled my cabin,
...searching for a haven
Only to find the shaven; -
... landscape trembling
from within.
The hills were shrank,
the world aflame,
the nearby forests crumbling.
I grabbed my rifle
and ventured
...upwards,
prepared to do some firing.
Alas upon the wavered hill, I found nothing the matter;
...as if the morning's uproar had never even happened.
The trees were cut,
the shrieks were gone,
the flames were out...etcetera;
I felt a cold chill down my spine
...and set my course to backwards.
Inside my truck I drove,
I drove and didn't look back.
...With that same cold chill upon my spine, I drove;
...towards the wooden bridge of new,
to retreat to civilization.
But as I neared the bridge,
...a tree appeared,
as if from thin air it stood impassive,
...massive and growing till it filled my field of vision
and I couldn't break in time.
Waft! I opted
cold and lonely
into sin.
To never truly fit within;
a square peg.
...With round ideals
and tender heart
within this world I fell apart;
...not feeling I could ever change
humanity's cruel behavior.
Shadows;
...they are left;
.................lurking.
I follow their moans to sunset,
where bodies dwell no longer;
present are the screams.
...And their pitch be loud,
in the auditorium of death;
between the curtain of their epitaph
and the stage of horrors left behind.
Where bodies once stood acting,
........only shadows still remain
and i shall follow every shadow to the truth.
Through unstable foundations
and crumbling frameworks of a prosperous time,
I will trek the barren wasteland, tailing shadows.
For in history lie the root of crime
and only shadows tell you why;
...whether murder or suicide;
......................the planet died.
There was a Full Moon out last night and I wrote a poem about it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emerging, large and round
Giant night light
saving me from darkness grace.
Cascading off my walls,
in highlights
where I can see the world encased.
A giant firefly profound;
it's majesty defies the ground,
it hung quite nimbly in the sky
laughing as the nightmares cry.
It's luminescent spirit glow,
rains stark heaven 'pon my woe
where every wall it's sanctum kissed,
became the den of good night bliss.
Upon vivid array and velvet plumes;
like the orchid, cyan blue
I'll be blooming soon.
My leaves afoot with chlorophyll soot;
my dreams,
the dreams of many;
my stem,
their support,
...to hold them.
No soul may comprehend me,
...and no vigilant tumbler to brink, I bloom upon foundations
yet no villain apt could sink. I bloom and I bloom high
with solar highlights and lunar shades,
colors dancing every which way.
Bloom leaves, bloom. Your wanted, your presence needed, your air to breathe,
your dreams to sleep. An ocean awaits, of days and likewise of nights,
I bloom high, out of the sands of time.
...And with me bloom the dreams of many,
.............................turned reality.
