The Lighthouse

By JadeG28

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I stand upon the barren cliffs, the frigid water crashing into the jagged merciless rocks below.I stand tall, a lonely figure.I beckon to all who may come near to beware lest I be joined upon these cliffsby those who were foolish enough not to heed my warnings.I desperately yearn not to be alone on these cliffs.It's dangerous beauty is enrapturing.But I am not alone.The souls of those who didn't heed my warnings haunt these cliffs.Their agonized cries fill the air with each crash of the water against the rocks.I beckon to those who travel by.I am the lighthouse.March 24 2000, Written October 5th, 2001 © on Oct 05 2001 05:45 AM PST   0 • 1
