Unspoken

By Stormcomin

The willows moan now
And the sea is black upon its shores
And nightmares purge a blade of dreams
For death doesn’t knock...
...on open doors

And in the dying winds, revealed, unspoken memories
They’ve finally given in to the strength of their disease

And all is quiet...
And all is lost...
No hope repays the lender...
...who demanded such a cost

    I like that this is a very visual poem. When I read it I think of monochrome scenery... Sad and hopeless but beautiful.

    Maybe it's the mood I was already in, but this actually made my eyes tear up. I think it's beautiful, though...perfectly formed, with the right amount of rhyme. The first stanza was my favorite. =)
