Arlo Parker Poet Free verse

Desolate

moon rise, dusk be gone…
iris’ flooding for light shards
edges of darkness press tight,
just passed bright sails folded.
silver rush bathes glistening eyes
alone again…
heart shine dimmed once more ~
last time
…this time
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   
desolate

Sally Eslinger September 7, 2023 at 6:48 AM Touching the heart & the mind’s eye. You pen a natural talent & your lov of language here. A wonderful read despite the despair. The light of day helps. Most everyone will relate to this. I did like how the scene around the narratir was of a similar take. Bless you! sally Arlo Parker September 9, 2023 at 12:05 PM Walk into the light cures all. Promise of tomorrow. Thx 4 your comment, Sally. :-))

Brandy Nicole July 15, 2023 at 7:15 PM Darkness is soothing, but can hold sadness too. I suppose it depends on your point of view and mood. So beautifully written and presented, Arlo. ~ Brandy Arlo Parker July 17, 2023 at 2:06 PM Pondering the "what-could-have-beens" of life. :o/
