The Sentinel

The Sentinel

Written all in red pen, all is all.
Attempt, simply, for permanence,
Two scribbled down prayers, all is all,
And yet prefer hope o’er common sense?

“What matters?” or “What’s the matter?”
Too tired to care, far too jaded to think.
Innocence welcomes pain, never former to the latter.
Hold my breath to float? Or concede to sink?

Inconstancy! All is all, and all in vain!
Blessed be the victims, blessed be the meek.
Ruined! Grapes on the vine from that ash o’er rain.
Be gone you foxes! There is no rapport to seek.

As a thousand night watchman drift.
The wide mute bars of the gate,
Powerless witnesses to grains a sift,
Into the mind’s eye, a trap-less bait.

No, not the desperate’s death is invited.
Alas, who am I to turn such a stranger away?
My virus, my cut, none left to fight it,
None, but that drifting watchman’s delay.

As I shout from the house from my bed,
See there! And stop the reasoned demise!
They feast on the vines; all is torn red.
Too tired, the guard lain down by lies.

Then they flee, scatter as the flocks,
Rise sentry; see two prayers by my pall?
Obliviated grapevine, not a print of the fox.
Both written in time, in that red pen to all.

Impressive language! This is highly poetic and meaningful. I enjoyed it much.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url).

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
