wait

Eugene S.

I see the thing I despise

the dream that has harmed me

repeated themes, a reprise, ever waiting to disarm me

to take blue from my skies

refuse mercies from my pleas

fill my world full of lies, uproot foundations that do bind me

all my hope traversed by flies

a wasteland to surround me

to lay a life out crosswise, trample all that's found beneath thee

I see with Argus-eyed pride

from the optics that you gave me 

and now am fully apprised of decay that does compound me

I wait, lost soul's disguise,

for ill fate to befall thee

for a wave that will capsize, wash away what hangs before me

    Dark and foreboding this poem speaks of awaiting for reprisal of justice. A lovely write.

    Dark and quite haunting write of waiting for justice to be delivered, nicely expressed and written
