The rain in the night sky is boundless
Reeled in by dreams of escape
I am every arm and I am every leg
Swaying with every light, every distant echo
You pull me out of shape, watch me melt
The knots in my stomach massive
Whenever I complain I hear you, gushing
When I was young the world was endless
Now it's a hopeless shrine
I used to think life was a timepiece
But our youth, our youth was wasted
All the drinks we had are gone
All the laughs we had have faded
Now we're left with this undying bruise
There's no light in us, just a vibrant darkness
Sailing in these rough times, we're alone
Billowing o'er clouded hills
Billowing o'er clouded hills
This everlasting sadness resides in the darkest pit
In our soul, gladly echoing in repeated stillness
The city beneath us is talk, talk, talking
These rings on our fingers are our monuments
The weight of this reflex bonds us
And our skulls are drunk, our knees are weak
Silent lovers never speak.

Beauifully written
'But our youth, our youth
was wasted
All the drinks we had, *left
thirsty desert's behind
All the laughs we had, *faded
in-to clown masks
Now we're left
with this undying, bruise
There's no light in us, just
a vibrant darkness
Sailing
in these rough *Time's
alone
Billowing o'er clouded hills
Billowing o'er clouded hills'
(Brilliant!
I humbly apologise, for my rude suggestions
I meant no disrespect, dear Poet
just overzealously, sharing
how your poignantly immersive poetry
revealed itself, to me)
Not offended at all, and have no qualms about your input. In fact I quite like 'left thirsty desert's behind', and 'faded in-to clown masks'. Those lines sure would add another element of imagery to the verse, although the verse is complete the way it is. It's sort of a lyrical poem, so that's why it's more simplistic.
