In the shadows, lay a lady, decapitated
Through the innocent soul of her remains, enmeshed
As nightshift vocal screams can be heard
To the near dusk of the day, anew
Shrouded the darkness, it frowns the light
As pear drops of rain pierce through
Like a thousand burning embers
Diminished into the mind of visual dreams
The reminiscence of the reflected pass
Devours more desires in greed
To the poignant in deaths we mortals thrill
To the days we shall be shattered and forgotten
Reincarnate the immortal emotions
We will live in malevolent cities
Where raped and murdered, massacres wanders
No more peelers to pity us the cause, anymore
In our hearts, the gratitude will remain
In sights of our beloved ones, graves that they live
Phenomenon one’s mistakes and prosperities
And live in hope once more.
Author notes
I didn't write this poem long ago, but in the pass, I have actually had dreams of it.
It was depressing and I did cry to sleep. There wasn't really anyone to comfort me, but I have taught myself each year that even life has some ups and downs, and in this road we go straight through, we still need to be strong and review yourself about the positive thoughts, you can think of. I know that there maybe alot of things that are negative, but this is what life is? isn't it?

Gorgeous
This is amazingly deep and, in my personal opinion, beautifully brilliant. Twisting grotesque into beauty and showing life of something so sad...genious. It flows so classicly; it reminds me of the old poetry. This is definitely one of my favorite poems that I've read on this site. Awesome write and true tallent. I applaud thy.
