All The Things We Almost Had

Terribly dark underneath the surface.

All The Things We Almost Had

Brushed with the aurulent skyline 

The bruises on my arms turn into silver streaks 

Clinging to the edge of the atmospheres tarnished smoke screen. 

The blossoms underneath shiver with anguish

As the clouds begin to take me pass their parted gates 

Heaving me through the humid despondency soaked air. 

And everything became so very quiet all of a sudden 

You could hear yourself dematerialize through the floor.

I could feel my atoms split without any despair

Circling the dusky horizon like they had somewhere else to be

All while the sun radiated through the angelic haze 

I've heard all the folklore that sprinkled this velvety plane 

The cries of sanctuary that riddled its beautiful melody 

Keeping everybody planted in its formless mountains. 

I know that sometimes things are too good too be true

But maybe I can just rest my eyes here for a little while longer.. 

Author's Note

This happens to be one of my more darker pieces. Its just dressed up with pretty words to disconnect from what it actually means.

[Coyote Poetry]

A powerful and beautiful poem.
"I know that sometimes things are too good too be true'
Sometime good to swim in happiness. Better to known love and adventure then wished you did.

This is a sad piece. For a person to be so sad that they create a world for themselves. A good, mature and deep piece. Well done

[Kimberly "Melody" Carne..]

"I could feel my atoms split without any despair
Circling the dusky horizon like they had somewhere else to be
All while the sun radiated through the angelic haze " Beautiful line showing the depths of the darkness entwined in the light of day

Beautiful. Can't say anymore than that.

Light and dark tones make for a nice contrast. Again the surreal meloncholic beauty similar to the last one you posted. Indeed it could be the companion to the last piece you posted. I can see them sitting side by side in a gallery like paintings. Great stuff.
