Colors to fade to shades of grey

by Ria   Dec 6, 2004



What a shame that leaves fall down
When autumn comes they touch the ground
Motionless unless the wind blows strong
Powerless like me, without a home to linger on
As if in a trance I walk the shining floors
The palace breaths away all mortal hopes
Loftiness dwells here since I was small
So long ago my life was sweet
I was nourished from my dreams
The afterlife left me to weep
To live the pain I was never in
From the lurid corners chortles are heard
My pain is nosh for them as well
Hidden somewhere the High Lords enjoy the show
This is my epitaph, I know
I cannot wait to pass away
Even if damnation is the only way
I’m willing to follow now
Betrayed and lonely, the bitter truth cuts deep
My body is trembling like a leaf
My spirit trying to leave my skin
Am I dying or is it going to last forever
This agony I’m in?

Colors to fade to shades of grey
Rays of light to fade away
My poor heart lonely and betrayed
My scattered body to fall prey
The golden harp to play a note
To mark the ending of the world
To let the flowers die in vain
To let the sunset’s colors wane
To shades of grey

From the beginning all was lost
A game of routine for the gods
The figures condemned to suffer love
The victims of an arid war
A tale to narrate the angels’ fate
To fall from grace and then awake
A swan song of a dying bard
Life dedicated to his art
A dying breath to give up life
To see it fly in purple skies

Oh morning Star, I saw your glory
One last time did I recall
So many sunrises I was watching
Your waning prime dancing alone
A dance eternal like elf’s slinking away from death
A painting painted from an empty palette

Tonight I will be gone

    I am not sure about the layout of this poem, by this I mean how many lines are in each verse. However, like with you other poems the overall effect is good.

    Keep Writing
