Clairification


Distant shores of the dark ebony nights

lost in a dream of forevermore,

twisted turning the ocean of breezes

fly outside deaths door.

 

White strung clouds hang in the balance

of the blue days sunshine,

singing of times lost in the ever ending nexus,

where softly blowing breezes push away the pain.

 

The songs sung are sad and lonely,

the writings done are dark and dreary,

but the light retreats and be come fluid

with the shadows as they surround us.

 

Tantalizing terrors trigger mans imagination

while dull vision clouds it,

sugary suckers so sweet burst upon our senses

and rot that which would be our teeth.

 

Liquefying horror stalks our very souls

forever seeking out the chinks in our armor,

some win and some lose but forever is the morrow,

can you see the inky darkness that comes around us?

 

Tommorrow's yesterdays become today's disappointment,

can you hear the screams of the damned,

the songs of the angels fallen from heavens very skies,

can you see that we will all become one.

 

Wanting to be with you my life is consumed

with the waking thoughts and the ever lasting dreams,

twisting with the tides of lover's tryst,

gone in a minutes blinking of an eye.

 

In a moments glance the doors have forever closed,

the window has locked and been bolted shut,

dreams become nightmares,

love becomes dust in the wind.

Author notes

the first prompt:

The frailties of dusk are vast
and reminiscent of cadences lost.
We become fluid as light retreats,
our armor liquifying in shadow.

Sorry about the line length but there was no way to break it up so that it would work and keep the rhythm of the poem.  Hope you enjoy

    My favorite stanza is the penultimate one. Third stanza from end is particularly at first line utilizing past furture and present sense of the word ‘day’.
    First line line of the fourth from end stanza is very original and strong.

    this is lively poetry about sorrowful things. excellent counterpoint of theme and approach. No short cut has been taken ... the poem does not attempt to be ironically humorous. It is true to itself and well done indeed.

    thank you for entering this interesting and lively poem about sorrowful things in my contest 'Be Inspired'

    There are definite alliterations going on within this piece, Poet. There are, however, several minor typos that need to be corrected, as they do detract somewhat from the strength of your piece. Good luck in the contest.

    The poem is very powerfully worded.I like the way you strung the words into each other.

    I loved this stanza:

    Liquefying horror stalks our very souls

    forever seeking out the chinks in our armor,

    some win and some lose but forever is the morrow,

    can you see the inky darkness that comes around us?

    This is so dark and keeps the reader hooked as it generates the visual impulses that resonates in the poem.

    Great work!
