"Heave"
A dust swells suffocating
the lungs heavy with grime.
Wind escapes from between cracked lips.
The final note.
Sun races to color in a paper sky
blue and bright.
Whistling trees
a tune of children laughing.
Rotted flesh clings to bone
greedily earth feeds off decay.
Heavy lays the heart
swallowed in the feast.
Wet lips touch
an-ti-ci-pa-tion stripped down
pink flesh meets pink flesh
new breath comes from the coffin of the earth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Genisis to Revelations"
Flowers stand a gape
open arms refuse to close
an endless reach.
a point of no return.
we drift homewards
cradled amongst our decaying brethren
we wait.
the earth takes us in.
I've stared at these two poems for far to long and am really begining to feel as if they are the house guest that won't leave. There is nothing left to say to them and their terrible stench is getting to me!
