Terrible a tremble
ripples echo silently
as the lights shudder
in revulsion
Pardoned are these shadows
Flowing over all
Shrouded now
Humbled due
a relenting grip
clenching as the edge
closes in
limit less
than obvious
Drowned for an instant
Pain cracks the sky
it then weeps
as the road follows
rolling across hills,
mountains, valleys
into the pours
sky cleanses earth
held in contempt
its troubles ignored.
Or:
held in contempt
for the treachery
That hides behind
melted rock and sand
The earth cries too
It knows death
it approaches soon
The style of it is interesting, it doesn't read very easily or smoothly (or maybe it's just the way I was reading it), but it works. As for the ending, I like the second one better. It's more...mysterious, for lack of better words. But yeah. Yay Nathaniel the poet
