Decadence eats your flesh
While dreams burn like forest fires behind your eyes
Days pass by without a single thought worth thinking
Time slips through your fingers
And you watch it go full of regret
Leaving the bitter taste of ashes
Where kisses once held you spellbound
Air thickens with words unspoken
Your eyes unable to focus where they belong
Landscape so painfully dull with the familiar
Your hands trace the veins in your arms
Pain stabs the back of your head and you sigh
Because maybe there are no tomorrows
How will you sum up your existence now
With only this to recommend you

Resting Place

Topic: Lifepoems

Resting on laurels full of thorns
Decadence eats your flesh
While dreams burn like forest fires behind your eyes
Days pass by without a single thought worth thinking
Time slips through your fingers
And you watch it go full of regret
Leaving the bitter taste of ashes
Where kisses once held you spellbound
Air thickens with words unspoken
Your eyes unable to focus where they belong
Landscape so painfully dull with the familiar
Your hands trace the veins in your arms
Pain stabs the back of your head and you sigh
Because maybe there are no tomorrows
How will you sum up your existence now
With only this to recommend you

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
