my above

By manunkind

lying on the ground
a smooth round stone
as small as the world
as large as alone
hide away in the shadows
piercing eyes light up the darkness
poison tears....
...burn a hole through the ground
i am lost
and i
NEVER
want to be found
my savior, the night
the shadows, the darkness
my bane, the day
the too bright sun
im finished with you
it's all over, i'm done

love like smoke
ive seen it
but never felt it
love like smoke
so decieving
love like smoke
tricked me into believing
lying on the ground
a smooth round stone
as small as the world
as large as alone
flee to the darkness
my mind
my home

lying on the ground
a smooth white stone
my blood like blossoms,
like diamonds my bones

fling away this heavy veil
toss away the prison skin
flee to a place
neither fake
nor real

the betraying smoke
the hurtful love
i flee from you
to my shadows

"like diamonds my bones" liked how you worded this one. (sentence and poem) The 4th stanza is insanly ingeniously brillant. (if THAT'S even possible!) I NEVER want to be found in my above either

Wow! That is really all I can say. The imagery in here is incredible, as is the comparisons made. "as large as alone", I love that! Good job.
