Phillip Garcia Poet Sonnet

Depleted By Tomorrows

Sunbaked to crisp this rag your hand enriched,
Hangs on a wire exposing tattered thread,
Rung-out depleted by tomorrows switched,
Lifeless without you, left, now lonesome bled.
Days wiped as months turned years following fast,
All while my focus rusts once where we were,
A rite of damnation pirouettes past,
Encircling sorrow’s waist with dizzy blur.
Spun as a ragdoll shook in infancy,
Watching my purpose, or the lack thereof,
Unable to cry so wide-eyed to see,
Shadows forgotten plunged searching your love.
  Were you an empress I’d be worn a crown,
  Longing for tears so my sadness could drown.

Paloma P October 23, 2016 at 7:38 AM One word. WOWZER. Alright, it's deserving of more than one word. Too many good lines to choose from, each sentiment cries out to be heard. That finish is par excellence! Phillip Garcia October 23, 2016 at 8:39 AM Go go gadget wheels! Thank you very much ma'am, a lovely comment to wake up to :)
