Little by little the ashes fell
Dead and gray--like weapons of war
And robbed my soul of its color

And like that, I walked through streets
Dragging this bag of stones
Forgetting the blood
Kicking shadows, kicking friends

So little by little my hand fell asleep
Then my arm, then my chest
And I left all the pencils alone
And I left all the pages to dance naked

Then, fled all the words
Where to and why?
I was abandoned
And I said nothing

So just like that, I fell asleep
Just like that the world passed by
And there was nothing left
Nothing but my shoes [comments] => 2 [counter] => 193 [topic] => 48 [informant] => SLiM_eLviS [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

How Sad It Was

And I said nothing

So just like that, I fell asleep
Just like that the world passed by
And there was nothing left
Nothing but my shoes

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. ©
