Ichor Falls and Skies of Grey

By lupus tenebrae

 



My liquid sorrow,
a once sad funeral song,
dismissed crying eyes.
Ichor falls and skies of grey,
like crumpled leaflets tumbling.

Livid lack luster,
penning crimson messages,
into nameless suicide.
Tragic twilit fading light
searches for a savior.

A hollow anger
laughs at survival values,
and the cruelty of time.
November daybreak shines on
wrought upon these lifeless hands.

Dying dream’s grand scheme;
an hour less than zero
spent watching leaves fall.
Nil of inspiration’s life,
a mockery of somber days.

    The title was enough for me. Don't say "never" - I frequently go back and re-write something I value, and cringe in the process, but our skills do change over time (hopefully) and it is reborn anew with vogor, cheers!
