Apocalypse.

by Poet on the Piano   Aug 15, 2015


Intense -

Kissing moons

Trembling muscles

Understanding life... death.

Electric eyes

Keeping rain silent... close.

Descending downward

Knowing fate

Sailing, sleeping stars.

You wonder afterwards

about breathing beyond,

nerves shocking twilight.

(Your soul weak).

    'You wonder afterwards / about breathing beyond'

    My absolute favorite line. I also love the use of parentheses at the end,almost an afterthought but also in a sense the culmination.

    Glad I decided to take a look at this. Although it is likely that I am interpreting this the wrong way, I perceived this poem as an intense whirlwind of imagery, sound, and contemplation (Kissing moons, Trembling muscles, Understanding life ... death.)
    After reading the poem, I realized that the last line resonated with the way I felt after viewing 'Apocalypse'. I felt tired, weak. But, most of all, I felt exhilaration.
    Excellent write.
