Reflecting Ripples

Listen to poem:

I stand alone a barking tree, where silent sorrows of ripples flee, No one hears my calamity, wearing weeps of my raped reality… Branches droop to ice-cold ground, solitudes surface of their drowned, Abysmal anguish of leaves have browned, lacrimal echoes of their sound. Randomized reflections of rivers flow, suffering scourges in their woe, Ripples raging in their row, creating cabalistic contrasts as they grow… The forest dense as to populate, the seeds of seduction must copulate, All is dormant until the eyes dilate, weeping willows that magistrate. I accept my life near the lamenting lake, weathering wounds as I wake, The wood whispers as to ache, secluded shadows share the snake… Wandering waters that ripples bring, vines that struggle in their swing, Alone in my salvaged spring, where sparrows segregate in their sing. Gif # 1 02.25.2020 Placed 1'st & POTD...Thank You
