Little Black

Not sure what to write in here, I've never shown any poems on the net. We're going to start dark....slowly getting brighter.


Standing opaque, reverent
Overlooking such shattered pieces
Fallen shards, memories and sunshine
Scattered among the broken glass

The eyes upon me, Imbuned hate
Distrust the feeling of shadow that follows
Inside and inbetween, I only feel hollow

These steps, lined bricks I recognize
Like every step of the way, every brick in my path
Something out of place, strains to hold me back

This stairway before me, stairway to nowhere,
Not heaven of all, insight or allusion
In my mind there's a wall.
I might try to cross, I would only maim.
Trapped in my mind, a symbolic veil

Then feel the breeze that leaves me breathless
This life that twists and turns is lawless

Late now to care, wind in my hair
Long gone friends, soon I'll be there
Falling down to death, my end of despair

Hitting the earth, I hear myself tear
Lifeblood around me, everywhere
To ever have felt, such life could be mine
Free of the hurt, sorrow, crime
One might try again, setting all right.
No longer the heart, the world to fight.

I leave this world, and never for another
Little piece of life, untill now undiscovered
Thoughts replaced with sunny places
Stars take place, as smiling faces

A single tear. a final sigh
Not enough pain, left to cry
In my blood, here I die
Mixed with earth, reflected in the sky..

For my friends, brother, love. We all remember, remember us all.

To any readers. Am I in the wrong place for this?
LET ME KNOW
