Desultory Damage Date: Wednesday, 4th July 2007 @ 06:40:52 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: reprobate Hunting and chased by ideals and schemes Ever haunted, those laughingly vague dreams Children of jack, mere shadows, footsteps now dead Wondering where the road miles finally have led Hearts ripped out, searching for sutures Listless immigrants to unknown futures From an ocean of motherstars, Just grains of cindersands Wandering from each other, Seedy hotels, dark bars, raucous bands Check your hats, coats and souls at the door Tomorrow will find us the too-familiar floor Pockets emptied of the many best-laid plans Vacant horizons revealed with hollow-eyed scans How to go, what to do, when is it right Swearing to godman -- not without a fight Yet when dawn pukes its pernicious lumens All that is lit are drained and disconnected humans This poem is Copyright © reprobate Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
