Shadows In the Sun

To my brothers, written age 16.

Shadows in the sun

Come down upon me now

Blue tears in rainbows

Are meeting me somehow.

 

Ask what I have done

Put nightmares in my dreams

How could I have known

That broken silence screams?

 

I left what meant most

A unity so strong

What was real fades fast

Could I have chosen wrong?

 

Weeds in a rosebed

Are shadowing my mind

Thorns among petals

Escape would be so kind.

 

I need you to know

My love has always won

But while we're apart

There are shadows in the sun.

Wow! I thought that was a wonderful poem! I liked the weeds in a rose bed.
