Nick Ruff Poet Rhyme

Day's End

The Dusk, he fell and shattered Day;
In shards of color she then lay,
As currents bore her life away,
Like scattered flotsam, far away
Into the calm of night

And from the cove there came a sighing
As her faded hues lay dying,
Sinking fast with tears still crying,
Fraught with crimson wounds, still crying
Out from the murky depths

And from the sea there came a roaring
Over angry waves, then soaring,
As the rainclouds started pouring;
With such sorrow they were pouring
Upon her watery grave

Then from the skies there came a wailing
Past the shore on winds prevailing,
As her body kept on sailing,
To the underworld, kept sailing,
Never to return.
