Rained Out

A hazelnut breeze awakens us To another day in the show no one signed up for From an accidental scream Or selfish architects of love Rained out Silver skies that block the sun Do others cry when the shine reappears To break a perfect aesthetic of gloom? Rained out The cancellation of a party no one wanted Light of pocket and of mind To forever repeat the same aesthetic Kiss the sky Yet another day passes as before Nothing to review as the dark rises An eternal tally of the same hours Kiss the sky Rain washes away what has stood strong A husk of promise shambling about Crooked of back and empty of stomach Where is the motivation? A feast laid before me rots As the effort to consume would kill me Before I could get the first bolus down Where is the motivation? My oval stones propel me Gazing at the hell I left behind Pushing back endless branches ahead Rotten of flesh and of mind The dark shine sends my heart aflutter A princess of the moon kisses me sweetly And where her lips were, my spirit sloughs Repelled with a wielded stone I await my sun-crowned prince To wrap me in his embrace again To live in gray instead of grave Time is a construct And yet I cannot build more To replace that which was wasted By a selfish plaguebearer So I gaze at me from next to me Features smooth and eroded Desire to write rained out By the selfish world I never asked to be part of.
