Bleeding Trees and Silent Whispers

by Suri dawn   Oct 20, 2006


Bleeding trees and silent whispers in the night.
Smirking demons cloaked in shadows dance on your wall.
Chimes will never still and crying babies can't be hushed.
AND THEY WILL NOT SLEEP(they will not sleep).

Doors without hinges will be left there to stand.
Cold lips take the kiss of a vampire as the sun sets.
All the children walk to the funeral in straight lines.
AND THEY ALL DRESS IN BLACK(they all dress in black).

The farmer in the desert kicks his stubborn mule.
Werewolves call to the moon at the hour of twelve.
Tonight the innocent will not be shown mercy.
AND THE FIRE CAN'T BE KILLED(the fire can't be killed).

Blue eyes turn to black as innocence fades.
Cats scatter when the witch cackles at her spells.
Doubt is instilled into the sacred child of hope.
AND THEY WILL NOT SURVIVE(they will not survive).

AND THEY WILL ALL BE FORSAKEN.
THE WORLD NO LONGER BELONGS TO US.
YOU WILL MOURN FOR THE LIVING.
BLEEDING TREES AND SILENT WHISPERS.

Bridge:You can't survive if you are not living.
Bleeding trees and silent whispers.

    I really like poems about nature and this one is no exception. I find that the Nature section of Poems and Quotes is where some of the best poems are found. I like writing Love poems and find that I incorporate many nature themes into them. There are a lot of poems in the Love section but there are only a few that really shine where in the nature section I find the opposite – most of them are very good. I enjoyed your poem and hope to read more from you in the future. If you like trees you can read a poem I wrote called – The memory of my shadow. The poem Searching also has a nature theme - I wrote this way too long ago when I was a kid and have thought many times to rewrite it as an adult. But somethings are better left the way they are no matter how badly you wish to change them.
