Devilish

By Nathan Owens

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

conquered smiles and clouds of dust you all stand clenching one another then a loner comes out from the sky and casts a shadow on the sun a gust topples trees and you fall to your knees hopeful for power, to have control and you become gods and no sooner than that has happened they will have lost all that they had, except their spirit which is what you wanted you fear what you don't understand and you must conquer what you fear you hold me to the ground, i can never rise though i'll be safe and sound my brown eyes portray, but you'll never hear my cries please, i'll make them sparkle anyway, whatever you say you and your followers, here again i crumble, just let me be trying to rise, i stumble laughter echoes through the midnight sky head up, in trouble...do i smile Written January 27th, 1999 © on Nov 08 2000 03:49 AM PST   0 • 1
