Paradise Lost

A Poem by felioness

Pondering life..

from this bridge,

watching the world go by

beneath the skeletal arms

of November trees,

i ask myself, do trees dream?

or have their dreams, in time,

sickened like mine, into a deep

narcotic sleep, sap slumberous and thickened,

... existence bleak?

the city sparkles in the distance ...

a promising party i'm not invited to

above, the sky is pervading ...dusky

... powder coated

settling into a cold steel blue

dove grey clouds gather to surround

a rising and indifferent moon

scattered wings of broken promises

filling up the gloom

i weigh my options

weighing out the cost

pondering a future

when paradise is lost

This is yet another stunning poem with a very beautiful picture at the start. We really feel the paradise lost at times. Ah have you read The paradise lost by John Milton??
