Beyond sight

by Watercolourz   Sep 9, 2014


The sky is finally alive with light,
But your weary mind has stopped the fight,
Tear drops falling in your ocean,
You feel pain, but lack the notion,
A caged up bird of prey,
Torn out feathers, forced to stay,
They see your wings as they lay broken,
For you are seen as just a token,
A minor spectacle for those too shallow,
To enjoy their lives that feel so hollow,
You're just a mirage by the shore,
Or a faded image by the door,
It's your broken mirror's time to pass,
Can you see past the shards of glass?
To trust a life unseen to others,
Your soul means nothing to no other,
Please change your fate from one of sorrow,
And cling to life, hope for tomorrow,
Fight tooth and claw for a good ending,
To fix the wounds that are worth mending.

I may be wrong, but it seems right,
But you might have to purge the blight,
We're so far past the point of no return,
It's time to watch the whole world burn,
To see the city drown in ashes,
To make sure it's lifeline crashes,
When fiery winds shall start to blow,
You'll clench your teeth as blood will flow,
Running rivers of musky red wine,
As life and fate are intertwined,
But in the end you have no crown,
You're left with just the crows at dawn,
And as they're falling from the skies,
With no more colors in their eyes,
They thrash like rag dolls on the ground,
Their number starts to form a mound,
You panic, look for any assistance,
But there's a figure in the distance,
On the pyramid of darkness,
Standing tall and mostly heartless,
But on that bleeding mess is me,
Seeing what your eyes can't see.

    Awesome poem!
    Loved it from the first line to the last line.
    The darkness throughout it is really strong, it surrounds each word with a power that only certain poems have.
    The vocabulary which you used to describe certain words also were creative and well chosen, I certainly enjoyed this read.
    Vivid and full of imagination.
    5/5
