a white rose petal

Contributed by In_a_While on Sunday, 14th May 2006 @ 01:45:30 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry



butterflies and dying trees
i press upon your window pane
while i scream i pierce the vein
and now you know i please

a white rose petal blackens well
i see you sleep within your room
nightmares share their view of gloom
and mourning sounds a solemn bell
___________________

I'll try now to let you see
all that's now debris in me
world wars match the imagery
but nothing helps renew
___________________

sunny days bring clouds to play
i'm the rain outside your soul
on my shoulder sits a crow
you've only moments left to pray

pillows turn into needles tar
sleep becomes a memory
let us keep the end of free
our slavery's a burning star

no more
it's always
a noose
no more
i'm always
to lose

A master of true poetic verse this is brilliantly penned. Well done my friend.
