Love In Barren Land

Love in barren land I sow my love in barren land as tears water blood manures no buds bloom inhumanity crawls, Dust shadows the bright sky dark clouds veil cries the blue and masked moonlight hatred rips my soul, There comes no twilight no new sun rises lost in absolute black wailing through night to erratic sleep's embrace, I sow my love in barren land and wait and wait eyes end up in dryness heartbeats regress nothing to anticipate ... Written April 21st, 2016 For "lyrics" poetry contest by rob carmack Inspired by song by Tomahawk

Congrats on your placement in the contest. The opening line slaps the reader in the face and its repetition in the final stanza stuns him once again. Well done.
