Loved Ones Remain Forever

aDarkerMind



loved ones remain forever.

four vessels from the heart.

four fingers crude enough to bite and crawl.

in death shall all remember

the manic halls where walked not once

but twice the fog of mammals

confined in doom, each hanging like a Lord!

to ill-afford this circumstance.

we are all as one

as each between

the carpet and the crawling green.

yet still we mourn the Summer woods

their greed and obstinance.

each thirteenth day

grows stronger than the Yuletide logs

as they echo with the barking cats

as they shed their skin

with their gleeful smiles

more beautiful than our world has ever seen.

words over all.

this world of aged screams stand lost.

what have we beneath the armour that we wear?

we urge relentless war.

we pursue our demons

ten years away from where our daughters weep

from where our mothers mourn 

and sleep beneath the corners of our smiles.

what colour this

this Earth on which we dwell?

loved ones remain forever.

from me to us

in the twilight of supreme.

though dead you are

the one I fear the most.

    Melvin this carries with it a feeling of gloom and the air of death. The mood about the same as the one that I'll post tomorrow. An enigmatic poem of lost wandering. Well done my friend

    Exquisite poetry every line,

    in death shall all remember

    the manic halls where walked not once

    but twice the fog of mammals

    confined in doom, each hanging like a Lord

    Love this stanza so much.

    Always my teacher forever my dear friend. 🌹
