[hometext] => Pondering Death
[bodytext] => In the faint blue sands of the shores of apocalypse We all travel like animals in a fury Hundreds of shadows under the moon Collecting beach glass on our way The waters trickle and burn our feet like razors But we continue onward and the red sun rises Scavengers sway to and fro above our heads Spinning like a broken clock, ticking the doom away Let us count down our deaths in prayer Like the moment we are born; The skeleton finger counts the minutes Knowingly, we bow our heads As the guillotine strikes the second As the pendulum sways the minute As the razorblade ignites the hour Get this right or it’ll change your life We’re all going to live to hear the skeleton chime Pray your angels and they’ll help you survive We’re all going to live to see the day that we die Count your fires, wear the holy water We float in the seas now, our bodies like mannequins There is no coral that makes this water appear red Only the blood of the decayed The hollow insides of a lifetime Ride the waves, they all lead to one place Sometimes there will be storms, causing chaos Other times the sea will be gentle and kind But no matter how hard you pull away from the tide The waves will crash, like the day that you pass [comments] => 3 [counter] => 180 [topic] => 13 [informant] => SpellofNature [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
