Indirect Moonlight Date: Sunday, 2nd May 2004 @ 07:21:41 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: merry __________________ Lack of enchantment, like thirst robbed my senses Introducing something gritty into my eyes Blindness intruded itself as darkness Leaving me speechless without a tongue Plagued by nightmares and daydreams I could not sleep or stay awake Alone in the crowd I was abandoned Traveling in time I had no destination Clocks running backwards unwound me My soul propelled to the brink of abyss Every word changed its meaning on the page Lovers followed me like hungry dogs to the grave Clamoring for more than I could give them Devoured by self-admiration I lay dead Headless corpse without a reflection Order decaf when I stopped at the oasis Thinking moonlight has many faces This poem is Copyright © merry Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
